Aftermarket Parts and Overhauls
Amsted Rail has the in-house engineering and production capabilities to overhaul any manufacturer’s bogies, not just our own. The process includes disassembly, shot-blasting frames and major components, digital inspection, painting, and reassembling parts to “like new” specifications. We also provide parts or complete part kits, including axles, journal bearing housings, suspension coil springs and all critical components. Amsted Rail has the expertise to reverse engineer or custom engineer these parts to your specifications – on your schedule.
