2 Your Track Investment Maintaining Your Track. It s a Smart Investment. You wouldn t think of operating your vehicle without oil. Why risk a safety hazard, costly repair bill or compromising the value of your vehicle by failing to maintain it! The same is true for your track. Protect your track investment and eliminate costly emergency repairs with ongoing railroad track inspections and a scheduled maintenance program. Taking a preventive approach saves money in the long run, eliminates safety risks and minimizes the chance of a track outage. A scheduled program also helps you budget for maintenance expenses and forecast your capital program. One thing is certain. If you don t have planned inspections and scheduled maintenance, you will have unplanned accidents and outages and higher costs.
