Excellence at Every Turn

Painting

Whether it’s a ladder, handrail, or any other railroad equipment that needs painting, we can handle it. We accommodate a variety of items, regardless of size.

Shearing

The powerhouse P140 Piranha Ironworker allows us to shear metal up to 1″ inch thick, and the blade permits accurate cuts with ease. We also use the Cincinnati ½ inch Shear and the 10 Ga x 10 ft Cincinnati Mechanical Power Shear.

Slack Adjusters

At Rail Exchange Fabricators, reconditioning old and damaged slack adjusters is part of the job. We take them apart, discard the damaged pieces, and reassemble them. Our process ensures you get a product that performs like new. You can send your broken slack adjusters for repair or purchase reconditioned Group E slack adjusters from our inventory.

Welding

We can make accurate and quality welds for handrail supports, load dividers, and more. Our team is especially experienced with stick and gas welding.
