"Custom solutions for industry and rail."

Central Railgroup Construction Services, LLC, and its predecessor, D.O.T. Rail Service, Inc., have provided track construction and maintenance services and track inspection business since 1983.  Railgroup is established as a pre-qualified rail contractor in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Kentucky.  The Company’s primary market areas have been Illinois and Northern Indiana with additional operations in Wisconsin and Michigan, and plans are in place to expand our business into Missouri and Minnesota.  Recent projects have ranged from routine track maintenance for long-time customers to major track construction programs such as the recent track extension within the Rochelle (IL) Industrial Park adjacent to Union Pacific’s Global III terminal. 

Our long-term customers include firms such as Union Pacific Railroad Co., BNSF Railroad Co., Barilla Pasta of America, Inc., Kellogg Company, Bulkmatic Transport, Inc., and Mittal Steel – Hennepin.  The Company recently concluded a five-year track maintenance contract with the U.S. Department of Defense - Fort Campbell Army Base with the highest possible recommendation from the Base Commander.   Railgroup also enjoys many repeat track construction and maintenance customers including large industries, port authorities, grain elevators, warehouses, municipalities, short line and regional railroads, Class I railroads and small businesses.  Specific examples of our services and our customers can be provided upon your request.
