Direct-to-Locomotive refueling (DTL) continues to make good business sense as the cost-effective solution in today's congested rail yards. Increased dwell times keep valuable assets out of use, resulting in lost sales and higher operating ratios. As trains grow longer and the increased reliance of distributed power becomes more the norm, even main line refueling platforms fall short in their ability to process train movements.

QRS refueling answers these needs, dependably and effectively. Essentially, we take the fuel to the locomotive, instead of the locomotive to the fuel. Our refueling services are founded on the principles of safety, care for the environment, and audit-ability. In addition, QRS can supply qualified manpower to execute these fueling procedures. This saves cost and improves efficiency by allowing your higher cost labor to be focused on more productive activities.

In addition to providing DTL refueling, QRS can also use its trucks to transport fuel from the refinery to your storage tanks. Whether you use Direct-to-Storage (DTS) in combination with DTL or as a stand-alone solution, you benefit from our comprehensive services.
