We are qualified contractors for all 7 Mainline Railroads (Union Pacific, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Norfolk Southern, Kansas City Southern, CSX, Canadian Pacific, and Canadian National) and offer a wide range of services to support them. Whether UP needs a backhoe to support a gang, BNSF needs a siding constructed, or NS needs a switch built and set, we have all the equipment and manpower needed to assist with anything the Railroad may need. Those are just a few examples of what the railroads rely on from Musselman and Hall every day. We have been asked to perform and came through on projects from moving lockers from one facility to another to re-paving entire lots for Intermodal Facilities. No job is too big or too small for Musselman and Hall.

There are multiple Industrial plants that have been using Musselman and Hall for their track maintenance for decades. We pride ourselves on the fact that our “bread and butter,” so to speak, is based on repeat business. Whether your business needs budgeting help for routine maintenance or support for a derailment, Musselman and Hall can assist with tie replacement, tamping, broken rail replacement, gauging, welding, etc. We keep a large inventory on-hand of ties and steel to be able to help get your tracks back into service. And, we can help you with over 100 years of railroad track maintenance experience!

We have multiple FRA 213 qualified Track Inspectors in all 3 markets (Kansas City, St. Louis, and Wichita) that Musselman and Hall currently serves. Those inspectors can check all the conditions of your track and determine what FRA defects may be present or any conditions that may exist that could hamper your company’s ability to do business. A comprehensive report will be completed and we can even present your company with a full-detailed cost breakdown for those repairs.

If you are considering building a new facility or expanding an existing line, look no further than Musselman and Hall Contractors. Since the 1890’s, we have been building track. While technology has come a long ways since then, the main components are mostly the same now as they were a century ago. What does that mean for you? The most experienced company in the area is at your service to make sure that the project is built on-time and within budget. We have built hundreds of miles of track over the years and our crews are led by a management team with over 90 combined years of experience. We can assist with everything from the engineering phase all the way through construction on anything from conventional wood ties to steel and concrete ties as well, and have in-house means to do dirt work, concrete, and asphalt on top of the rail construction. We are a one-stop shop for just about anything that goes on the ground.

Probably the most important (and, frankly, the most neglected) aspect of any railroad track is the ballast line (the rock in between and below the ties). The track ballast not only keeps the track surface in a position to run trains smoothly, it also protects it from moving laterally as well as keeping the track well drained. Vertical and lateral movement can wreak havoc on the condition of your rail and ties. And, if the track bed is not well-drained, tie conditions will deteriorate faster than they should and raise maintenance costs over time. Musselman and Hall has all the latest equipment to keep your track surface precisely where it needs to be to minimize maintenance costs and ensure long-lasting service. Whether we are surfacing small industrial projects with 2400 Switch Tampers, new construction, or miles and miles of main line track with 6700 Production Tampers, we have just what the job needs to be done properly and efficiently.

Mother nature can be disastrous to any railroad. Musselman and Hall has everything from Hy-Rail Excavators, Rotary Dumps, and Grapple Trucks to surfacing equipment as detailed above. We have the experience to get your track back into service as quickly as possible. We have relationships with quarries all over the Midwest that we can source any type of ballast available to rebuild what has been destroyed. And, we can provide turnkey service at all times of day and night, because we all know that these accidents never happen at a good time for anyone. Call us and we will be there
