Railroad Switching Services

The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Company (W&LE) can offer seven day-a-week services to accommodate a customer’s switching needs while improving safety and efficiency. When volumes warrant, we can dedicate a crew, or offer multiple switching options to get your railcars on the right track, all the while making sure your management personnel are kept in the communication loop.

Switching services include train assembly and disassembly, storing and classifying cars and more. Give us a call to learn more about specific services we can offer you.
