REPAIR SHOP SERVICES The Tri-City & Olympia Railroad has a tenant in our railyard facility which provides both railcar inspection and repair service. Washington State Truck & Transload provides the ability to identify, fix, and rotate back into service all types of railcars. While important to assuring that rail equipment is safe and effective, it also affords the Tri-City & Olympia Railroad the opportunity to help our clients find needed railcars for their transportation requirements. Our goal is to rotate the repaired cars back into service carrying clients’ goods and materials – an empty railcar is lost revenue for both the shipper and the client. Industrial Switching The Tri-City & Olympia Railroad provides on-site freight car switching and rail-related services for companies that operate with inbound, outbound, and in-plant railcar transfers within their own facility. Our services accommodate specific plant, site or operational requirements and can include ordering empty cars for loading, hiring any train service, tracking rail shipments, repairing and maintaining railcars and tracks, and transferring railcars and containers to the Tri-City & Olympia Railroad for rail freight service. Other services are available as well—just tell us what you need.

Special Transport Programs The Tri-City & Olympia Railroad has the capability to handle special transportation needs. Shipments of nuclear waste materials have been undertaken at the Department of Energy site at Hanford. A specialty railcar has been fabricated to handle Type A Nuclear Waste items in movements from Hanford to decontamination facilities. Oversize generators used in nuclear production programs have been moved from the Energy Northwest nuclear facility at Hanford. That move, initiated by the Tri-City & Olympia Railroad, was readied for movement to Texas in a safe, efficient and secure manner.
