Texas-based American Track, a turnkey railroad design, repair, maintenance, construction, inspection and terminal services provider, recently purchased Georgia-based Rapid Track, a rail maintenance and construction services provider.
“Rapid Track is our family business and our life’s work,” Shannon Shockley, Rapid Track president and owner, said. “We were only interested in joining with a great company that could help us grow and create lasting opportunities for ourselves and our employees. We know American Track will be that place and we are excited about the future with North American Rail Solutions.”
Shannon and Brandi Shockley manage Rapid Track which was founded in 1994 by Kirby Wallace and Gail Shockley Wallace.
“Rapid Track has been a strong provider of rail services in the Georgia area for several decades,” Tom Lucario, North American Rail Solutions CEO, said. “The Southeast is a critical area for American Track and we felt that Shannon and Brandi had a team that was an excellent match for the American Track culture. We knew they would be a great addition.”
American Track is a subsidiary of Texas-based North American Rail Solutions, the largest provider of industrial rail inspection, construction, maintenance, terminal and support services in North America. It serves a range of industries.
