At Hart Fueling, we take pride in providing dependable fueling services wherever they’re needed — no matter how challenging the location. Recently, we completed a fueling job in Meridian, Mississippi, servicing an industrial locomotive line where a rail grinder required refueling. This project is a great example of our ability to deliver fuel efficiently and safely to hard-to-reach places like industrial train tracks.
Fueling a Locomotive Rail Grinder on Site
Rail grinders are essential for maintaining smooth and safe train operations, but they require reliable fuel sources to keep running without interruption. When the rail grinder in Meridian ran low on fuel, Hart Fueling was called in to deliver diesel fuel and wet hose the grinder directly on-site.
Instead of moving the equipment to a fixed fueling station — often an impractical option in industrial rail yards — our team brought the fuel right to the rail grinder, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency. This approach allowed the rail grinder to get back to work quickly, keeping the maintenance schedule on track.
Expert Refueling in Hard-to-Reach Locations
Industrial train tracks often present unique challenges for fueling crews. Access can be limited by terrain, track layout, or safety restrictions. Hart Fueling specializes in overcoming those obstacles. Our mobile fuel trailers, truck upfits, and experienced staff are equipped to handle remote and difficult-to-access sites with professionalism and care.
If your operation requires dependable on-site fueling — whether for locomotives, rail grinders, or other heavy equipment — Hart Fueling is ready to meet your needs. Contact us today to learn more about how our fueling solutions can support your business.
