24-Hour Emergency Rail Repairs Across Western Canada
Track failures don't wait for business hours. A broken rail, damaged switch, or derailment can halt operations, compromise safety, and cost thousands per hour in downtime. Quality Railway Services operates a 24-hour emergency response line to mobilize crews quickly across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. Whether you're a Class 1 railway, a shortline, or an industrial operator, we show up equipped and ready to restore your track to full operating condition.

What Counts as an Emergency Railroad Repair?
Not every track problem can wait for scheduled maintenance. Our emergency repair crews handle:
- Broken or cracked rails including joint failures and transverse defects
- Damaged or misaligned switches preventing proper train routing
- Derailment damage including track, tie, and ballast restoration after an incident
- Rail washouts and subgrade failures caused by flooding, freeze-thaw, or erosion
- Buckled track from thermal expansion kinks that create immediate derailment risk
- Failed crossings and grade crossings where safety is immediately compromised
- Tie failures in critical zones where structural integrity cannot wait
If your track is out of service or unsafe to operate, that's an emergency.
