LO-RAILER MOVES EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES AFTER CALIFORNIA RAIL WASHOUT

DymaxRail 45T Lo-Railer, a road-rail utility flatcar with fold-up ramps, parked at a rail yard

In September, coastal erosion damaged a stretch of the only rail corridor connecting San Diego to Los Angeles, suspending service indefinitely.

The clock was ticking for repair crews. 

The first obstacle was getting machines and materials out to the damaged stretch of tracks.

That’s where the DymaxRail Lo-Railer came in.

Local coverage of the Oceanside track damage and repair effort. Watch for the Lo-Railer at 0:12. Video: CBS 8 San Diego.

The 45T Lo-Railer is a utility flatcar that travels by road and rail — and it’s street-legal on federal highways. Set it on the track at the nearest crossing and start moving equipment to the work site. No oversize-load permit needed.

Add a Lo-Railer to your Emergency Response Fleet

The Lo-Railer is built for the jobs you can’t put on a schedule — washouts, storm damage, derailments, hurricane flooding.

Add one to your fleet now, so it’s available when the next line goes down.
