Railcar Scrapping.
Asset Recovery.
Maximum Value.

Rail Industry Specialist, Inc. (RIS) provides complete railcar scrapping and end-of-life asset recovery services for railcar and locomotive owners. From individual railcars to large fleet retirement programs, RIS coordinates the scrapping, dismantling, parts recovery, recycling, and final disposition process.

Railcar Scrapping & Dismantling

RIS manages railcar scrapping programs for retired, damaged, obsolete, or surplus railcars. We coordinate the dismantling and disposition process to help owners efficiently remove railcars from service while maximizing their remaining value.

Parts & Component Recovery

Before scrapping, RIS can identify valuable parts and components for reuse, resale, or inventory. This helps customers capture additional value from railcars and locomotives before final recycling.

Scrap & Asset Value Optimization

RIS helps customers evaluate scrapping and recovery options to maximize the value of recyclable materials, reusable components, and other recoverable assets.

From a Single Railcar to Complete Fleet Programs

Whether retiring a single railcar or managing a large fleet disposition program, RIS provides the industry knowledge and project coordination needed to efficiently manage the process from initial evaluation through final scrapping and asset recovery.
