Train Service Faster and Safer With Welded Rails
Railroads improve safety and speed by using solid welded rail. Santa Fe completes welded section from Emporia to Ottawa, enabling freight trains to average 75 mph versus 55 mph on non welded tracks. Amtrak relies on welded tracks, built by Boutet crews fusing rails with a chemical process, creating a continuous rail for faster shipping and safe passenger travel.
