QRS provides an extensive range of train, locomotive and high wide inspections to help you maintain uninterrupted train operations.

QRS has built an extensive knowledge of FRA issues and requirements. We know what problems may arise if minor equipment defects with bearings, brakes and wheels are not repaired. We keep your trains moving - efficiently and profitably.

Car Inspections
Complete FRA 1000 mile inspections are supplemented by roll-by inspections for high-use trains. These preventative maintenance programs identify and, if necessary, spot fix rail car equipment failure. QRS roll-by inspections significantly reduce the likelihood of major equipment outages and derailments.

Locomotive Inspections
QRS provides the FRA required daily and periodic locomotive inspections. Carried out by the QRS crew, these inspections ensure the trains readiness for service. Daily locomotive inspections includes: truck and wheel, draft system, carbody bolster, locomotive to rail clearance, safety appliance and propulsion system, as well as fluid replenishments. Periodic inspections focus on comprehensive mandated mechanical and electrical inspections.

QRS' comprehensive locomotive inspections help keep your trains running on schedule, identifying problems before they can become major safety or operating hazards.

High Wide Inspections
QRS high wide inspections measure oversize loads to ensure your train will have adequate track clearance throughout its route. High/wide load restrictions, bridges and tunnels must all be considered when selecting routes - QRS high wide inspections help dramatically reduce the risk of encountering these obstacles to track clearance and in the process saving valuable transit time.

You can use our inspection services in isolation, or couple them with additional services as part of a comprehensive train operations program to help ensure the uninterrupted service required in today's competitive environment.
