ABOUT US
Arch Rail Group was formed in 2017 by three engineers specializing in structural and railroad engineering. Arch Rail Group boasts nearly 50 years of combined experience with Class I railroads, shortlines, and their clients. While primarily experienced in structural design, our track design is currently limited to structural projects, though we have plans to expand in the future to meet demand.
The engineers of Arch Rail Group are each a member of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) and participate in its various technical committees. We are also compliant with the current Federal Railroad Administration's policies for bridge worker safety, on-track safety along with the requirements of the Class I railroads.
