Road & Rail Services is a proven provider of comprehensive railroad track inspection services designed to ensure safety, maintain compliance, and support uninterrupted operations. With increasing regulatory demands from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), routine and accurate inspections are more critical than ever.

Our experienced inspectors deliver detailed, hands-on evaluations that help rail operators identify issues early, reduce risk and stay fully compliant. Whatever the schedule or frequency, we provide consistent inspection services to monitor track condition and detect wear, defects or degradation before they become costly problems or compliance issues.

Using both technology and manual inspection methods, our team performs close-up evaluations of:
• Rail condition and wear
• Ties and fasteners
• Ballast and drainage
• Track geometry (alignment, gauge, surface)
• Crossings and related infrastructure

We identify and document defects such as:
• Cracked or worn rail
• Ineffective ties
• Gauge irregularities
• Surface deviations

Our reports are clear, organized, and designed to help your team take immediate corrective action. Learn more at https://www.roadandrail.com/track.

Road & Rail Services and the Safety Department proudly congratulate the Hawesville team on an extraordinary accomplishment!

This year, the Hawesville facility achieved an incredible milestone: 23 years injury free. This accomplishment reflects the team’s unwavering commitment to safety, teamwork, accountability, and looking out for one another every day. Achievements like this don’t happen by accident — they are the result of thousands of safe decisions, attention to detail, and a culture where every employee takes responsibility for protecting themselves and their coworkers.

Safety is not just a goal—it’s a commitment we make every day. From leadership to the newest team member, each person has played an important role in making this milestone possible. We’re proud to recognize Hawesville Team Manager Anthony Allen for this achievement, which reflects the commitment, teamwork, and dedication of every employee to maintaining a safe workplace.

Join us in congratulating our August Power Player, Dillon Powell!

Throughout Dillon’s time with Road & Rail Services, he has excelled at all aspects of his job, and his desire to learn and do more has been noticeable from the beginning. He’s dedicated to safety, working to the highest standards so that coworkers and customers alike know his work is being completed safely and correctly.

And he’s dedicated to his team! Whatever he is doing, if another team member needs help with something he’s there to assist. Regardless of his position, if mechanical or repair work is needed, he’s always been ready to volunteer. Finally, he’s dedicated to self-improvement. His initiative and focus are very impressive, and he’s consistently been trusted with more responsibility over the years.

In the words of manager John Buffett, “He has been easy to teach and easier to coach. Dillon’s ability to work independently is awesome. For example, if Dillon is our AAR repairman for the day, follow up will only result in “wow, I wish I had more Dillons”. Our more seasoned repairmen will ask me if Dillon is available to work with them. Dillon will continuously set the standard for the team.”

This dedication to safety, efficiency and teamwork is what makes Dillon a true Power Player.

Congratulations, Dillon!
