andmany other locomotive, electrical upgrade options. In
addition to electrical repairs, FleetServe Rail also tracks
down and repairs mechanical and pneumatic problems,
from locomotive wheel cutting and truing, to changing
prime movers, to tracking air leaks in pneumatic equip-
ment.
And, of course, no repairs require moving a locomotive
to the yards or off-track. Through years of methodically
engineering and re-engineering proprietary systems and
structures, FleetServe has developed a system of qual-
ity checks and balances along with a fleet of highly-en-
gineered custom mobile-workstations enabling service
in all weather conditions, terrains, and time of day. This
on-site, on-demand service is designed to save its cus-
tomers both time and money. In addition, FleetServe Rail
completes and keeps detailed records of every service to
ensure clear communication as well as FRA compliance.
This past spring, FleetServe Rail was awarded the first
Federal Railroad Administration Training Program Certi-
fication in the locomotive, field service industry, setting
the company apart from all other field service providers.
Currently there are no federal requirements for hostlers
to be certified while performing mechanical servicing
facility duties. As an industry first, FRA-certified training
means rail customers, including class-1 railroads, short-
lines, and any other organization that owns or maintains
locomotives, can be assured of the highest quality ser-
vice by certified technicians and locomotive mechanics.
