Ruskin, through it's maintenance partnerships with many short line rail operators in Western Canada, has been able to develop a workforce experienced in the lost art of timber trestle repair and construction. The rail maintenance service Ruskin provides requires an inventory investment in commonly used materials and specialized equipment. With the equipment, material and experienced work force in-place, Ruskin can effectively provide the service required by the rail operators of the West. Whether our clients have a scheduled maintenance program of structural refitting or require an emergency repair, Ruskin is positioned with its resources and communication system to react effectively with the services required for the project.

Working with the rail operators (major or junior) requires a very clear understanding of the safety and operational needs of the rail system. Ruskin has the proven experience of performing the tasks of the project within the operational constraints of the rail system. On many projects, limited track time is available making the planning for each task more critical than conventional construction. Communication with the on-site flagmen, external and internal working crews ensure that the safe delivery of each project can be achieved.

Ruskin has been called into service on many emergency repairs for the short line and primary rail operators of Western Canada, and as such remains committed to the needs of the rail transportation infrastructure.
