SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Rail rolling stock maintenance giant Rescar Companies (Rescar) has signed a deal with The Woodlands-based The CRU Group under which subsidiary CRU Railcar Services will provide tank car cleaning and switching services for Rescar's new Fast Track location within the Alamo Junction Rail Park in Elmendorf, TX located twenty (20) miles south of San Antonio, TX.

Currently, Rescar has five (5) major full service plants (Channelview, TX; DuBois, PA; Gordon, GA; Longview, TX; Orange, TX) for heavy repair, tank car compliance testing, wide product based cleaning and coating application.

The group's latest project was the creation of CRU Railcar Services, a state-of-the-art tank car cleaning facility offering extremely fast turn-times and conforming with the toughest inspection standards. CRS Marketing Manager, Pedro Berruecos, commented "Since the beginning, it became clear that a partnership with Rescar would allow the facility to become the preferred repair location for tank car operators and lessors due to our access to both UP and BNSF." He added "We built this facility with only the highest standards in mind so that we can focus on cleaning railcars as quickly and cost effectively as possible while our partner, Rescar, can provide any necessary maintenance, inspection or repairs. This specialized approach will ensure that our customers are provided with high quality service and quick turn times at cost effective pricing."
