Capital Railroad Contracting provides railroad construction services for freight railroads, industrial facilities, ports, terminals, transloading operations, and rail-served businesses.
Since 1987, our crews have helped build, maintain, repair, and improve the rail infrastructure that keeps freight and industry moving. From new track construction to Maintenance of Way, emergency repair, bridge work, directional boring, and trenchless crossings, Capital brings experienced people, specialized equipment, and a safety-focused approach to every project.
Whether you need a new rail construction partner, ongoing maintenance support, or rapid response after an infrastructure issue, our team is ready to help.
Railroad construction is not ordinary construction.
It requires crews who understand active rail environments, heavy equipment, project coordination, track structure, drainage, safety requirements, and the pressure of keeping rail operations moving.
Capital Railroad Contracting provides practical, hands-on railroad construction services designed around the needs of railroads and rail-served customers. Our crews work across multiple service lines, giving customers one experienced railroad contractor for planned projects, maintenance programs, specialized infrastructure work, and emergency repairs.

Reliable rail operations depend on consistent Maintenance of Way.
Capital Railroad Contracting provides railroad Maintenance of Way services to help customers inspect, repair, maintain, and improve critical rail infrastructure. Our crews support track, ballast, drainage, bridges, culverts, right-of-way needs, and related railroad components.
By addressing issues before they become larger problems, our Maintenance of Way crews help railroads and rail-served facilities improve safety, reduce downtime, and extend the life of their infrastructure.
Services may include:
Railroad infrastructure problems can happen without warning.
Capital Railroad Contracting provides emergency railroad repair services for customers facing urgent track, bridge, drainage, or infrastructure issues. When storms, washouts, derailment damage, structural failures, or other unexpected conditions threaten rail operations, our crews can mobilize to assess the site and begin critical repair work.
Our emergency capabilities complement our planned railroad construction and Maintenance of Way services, giving customers a single partner for both routine infrastructure needs and unplanned events.
Emergency repair support may include:
Railroad bridges are critical links in the rail network.

When open-cut excavation is not practical, Jack & Bore can provide a trenchless solution for railroad crossings and underground infrastructure.
Capital Railroad Contracting provides Jack & Bore services for installing steel casing, utilities, and culvert pipe beneath railroad tracks while helping reduce surface disruption. This method can be useful when track stability must be protected or when site conditions make traditional excavation or directional drilling difficult.
Our crews use specialized equipment and railroad construction experience to complete bore work with precision, safety, and careful coordination.
Jack & Bore services may support:
Controlled boring in railroad environments
Capital Railroad Contracting supports more than railroad mainline work. Our crews also help industrial customers, shippers, ports, terminals, and rail-served facilities build and maintain the infrastructure that connects their operations to the rail network.
Our railroad construction services can support:
Whether your facility needs a new track connection, drainage improvements, routine maintenance, or repairs to existing rail infrastructure, Capital can help evaluate the work and develop a practical path forward.
Our crews understand the demands of railroad construction, Maintenance of Way, bridge work, emergency repair, and specialized infrastructure projects.
Customers can work with one railroad contractor across multiple needs, including track construction, maintenance, emergency repair, structures, boring, and trenchless crossings.
Railroad construction requires equipment built for demanding field conditions. Capital brings the tools, machinery, and operators needed to support complex rail infrastructure work.
Safety guides how our crews plan, coordinate, and perform work. Every project requires attention to people, equipment, rail infrastructure, and site conditions.
From planned construction to urgent repair needs, our team understands the importance of communication, mobilization, and field execution.
Railroads connect businesses to suppliers, customers, ports, terminals, and national freight networks. When rail infrastructure is built well and maintained properly, it helps support reliable operations for years to come.
Capital Railroad Contracting helps customers build, maintain, and repair the infrastructure behind that movement.
From new rail construction to emergency repair, our crews bring practical field experience to the projects that keep freight and industry moving.
