The long and illustrious history

of Kershaw stretches back

decades into US railroad

history. Royce Kershaw

established Kershaw

Manufacturing in 1944. Mr.

Kershaw developed the first

Ballast Regulating equipment

for use in track maintenance

based on a mounted pick-up

truck.

This machine automatically

profiled the ballast for the track

surface allowing for a

unprecedented improvement in

maintenance timescales. Over

the next 60 years Kershaw

Manufacturing has developed

many other specialty machines

used by railroads throughout

the world in maintenance of

track surfaces for both

passenger and cargo freight.

Kershaw Manufacturing was

acquired from the Kershaw

family in 1998 by Progress Rail

Services Corporation. Progress

Rail Services Corporation’s

corporate headquarters are

located in Albertville, AL.

Progress Rail Services is a

major supplier of products and

services to the rail industry in

North America. Progress Rail

Services has operating

businesses in 23 states in the

US as well as offices in

Canada, Mexico, Brazil,

England and Italy.
