Railroad Vegetation Management
Railroad Vegetation Management Services
Although car and plane travel is more common these days, train travel still exists. Trains transport and deliver goods across America. They are essential to our way of life. Most people don’t pay attention to the vegetation along the tracks, but without railroad vegetation management, trains could not operate on national railways safely.
Our vegetation management services include a specialization in railroad management. We recognize the importance of this service and aim to keep our railroads clean. Unkempt railways, damaged equipment, and tracks can cause scheduling delays, safety issues, and be expensive to repair. By implementing a railroad vegetation management plan, companies can eliminate hazards proactively and focus on what is important.
Brush Control
Brush control is crucial for creating a safe environment for our railroads. Our team clears branches and out-of-control foliage to ensure that signs, signals, and crossings are clear and that the train conductor has a clear view. Not only is the removal of overgrown trees, bushes, and weeds crucial for safety, it helps promote the growth of natural grasses, creating a clean and natural environment.
Mowing Services
Creating a well-maintained and aesthetically appealing space requires maintenance. Mowing the grass along the railway is necessary for visibility and safety. When the grasses are overgrown, it is increasingly more difficult for railroad crews, conductors, and other contractors to do their job. This right of way maintenance mowing also helps to reduce more costly tree clearing in the future.
Crossing Clearing
Similar to brush control, crossing clearing is essential for railroad vegetation management and focuses solely on clearing the railroad crossing. This service consists of removing the foliage and trimming large trees to ensure that railway signals are visible.
Vegetation Spraying
Spraying herbicides on vegetation is crucial for maintaining a clear easement and rail bed. Our crews provide a very targeted herbicide mixture designed to keep this area weed-free for the entire growing season. The mixture includes both pre- and post-emergent herbicides. We use the best herbicides in the industry.
Tree Cutting and Clearing
Tree cutting and clearing are crucial for safety. Lanracorp provides these services for both the crossing and railway, ensuring debris-free tracks.
