Committed to expanding our business both nationally and internationally, large sums of money continue to be invested in the industry to achieve these goals.

Specialized maintenance of way equipment designed, built and operated by Herzog include:


 

Cartopper Material Handler

In response to an industry-wide need for a safe, cost-competitive and efficient method of loading and unloading cross-ties, Herzog designed and developed the CarTopper. A patented rail industry service provider that's revolutionized material handling.



 

PLUS Train - Programmable Linear Unloading System

The services provided by the PLUS Train, the most revolutionary ballast spreading system available to the rail industry worldwide, exemplifies Herzog's timely response to design and build a more efficient, productive, safer ballast delivery system.



 

MPM - Multi-Purpose Machine

This versatile MPM maintenance provider easily and safely handles such labor-intensive tasks as picking up, stacking or distributing ties, tie butts, and OTM.

No work train is needed for the cost effective MPM, and being self-propelled, just one Herzog employee is required for total operation. the MPM can travel from job-site to job-site at 50 miles-per-hour, or can be put in train service.
