Tour our locomotive overhaul and appliance repair capabilities
FMW Solutions can handle nearly any scope or size of specialty railroad equipment repair projects.
Our Southeastern Office and Fabrication Shop in Chattanooga serves as an 11,000-square-foot general-purpose machine and boiler shop, capable of handling fabrication and overhaul work, and is “S” and “R” Stamp Certified. In addition, we utilize a 50,000-square-foot machine shop in upstate New York for larger jobs to handle large-scale machining and repair projects in the Eastern United States.
FMW also maintains relationships with additional fabrication, machine shop, welding, and code-certified boiler and railroad equipment machinery firms in Tennessee and across the U.S. This enables us to provide prompt, responsive service to handle custom repair work across the U.S.
