Track Elements

Keeping rail lines and track in safe, consistent operation is key whether to move freight or passengers. Therefore, much of a railroad or transit authority’s focus is, rightly so, on the track itself. However, there are many elements and ancillary items along the track that also play a pivotal roll in uninterrupted, safe operation.

Many of these elements can benefit from the use of hot-dip galvanized steel. Because HDG provides decades of maintenance-free corrosion protection, these ancillary items can be galvanized, installed and then largely ignored while they do their job for 70+ years. Hot-dip galvanizing is built to withstand atmospheric elements from sun and heat to rain and snow – making it a great fit for track elements across the country whether in rural or urban areas.
