NARSTCO

Steel ties have been used globally for over one hundred years and the North American Railway Steel Tie Corporation (NARSTCO) is the leading quality manufacturer of steel track and turnout ties. NARSTCO is a visionary company dedicated to accommodating rail systems in the 21st century. Environmental and life cycle costing concerns are creating growing awareness of the many attributes and advantages to using steel ties. More demands are being placed on railroads, including increased axle loads. The North American market is particularly demanding, making steel ties an economical and reliable material able to perform in extreme conditions. NARSTCO products offer a solution to the growing demands on the rail industry. NARSTCO products are the hybrid of twenty years of research and development, advanced technological design and a fully automated manufacturing plant. Steel track ties are produced from two basic hot rolled cross sections, the "M" and "H" sections. From these two basic sections, NARSTCO produces a number of tie sizes to suit any operating condition. Turnout tie sets are manufactured using the "H" section, for either insulated or non-insulated track. All NARSTCO steel turnout tie sets are universal for either left or right handed installation. The NARSTCO plant is accessible to all modes of transport due to its prime location. Once an order is produced the compactness of stacked steel track and turnout ties makes them easy to transport by rail or truck. Installation of NARSTCO steel track and turnout ties can be completed economically and simply. Complete instructions are provided, as well as on site assistance. After installation, on site inspections are carried out regularly by NARSTCO technical representatives to ensure continued satisfaction. NARSTCO steel track and turnout tie sets provide a solution to the problems railways are facing in the 21st century. Steel track and turnout ties extend other track component life and operate with optimal efficiency under the most adverse conditions. NARSTCO steel track and turnout ties are installed with less cost, labor and material; and most importantly are proven effective.
