Moffatt & Nichol has helped to lead the domestic intermodal rail revolution through our role on projects throughout the United States.

We work with supply chains, industrial concerns, selection consultants and railroad companies to provide holistic and comprehensive plans and designs to support the commercial success of rail-driven economic growth projects.

Our rail teams work extensively in mixed use rail corridors to fairly balance freight and passenger design and operational needs. Whether double tracking in Southern California or major corridor improvements into Washington, D.C., or new station locations, the Moffatt & Nichol team plans, designs, and supports capital funding strategies for extended and expanded passenger rail services.

Our rail teams’ technical excellence is based on rail operations, design and implementation. They are experts in Class 1, 2, and 3 railroads, industrial and intermodal entities, with federal, state, regional, and local agencies and regulators, and with key supply chain entities such as seaports, inland ports, and logistic parks.

Moffatt & Nichol maintains a national rail safety team with special rail crossing analysis and safety improvement expertise. Supported by an in-house system to track and report Section 130 safety data, the team is available for onsite evaluations and practical solutions.
