Mountain track surfacing
BC Surfacing Season 2026
Ironhorse sent its surfacing gang to British Columbia for the 2026 season, including a crossing replacement in Revelstoke in May.
The operating challenge
Mountain rail corridors combine tight curves, rock cuts and long distances from the Crossfield yard, so the crew and machines travel and work as a self-contained surfacing gang.
Published project details
The delivery outcome
Ironhorse posted the 2026 BC surfacing gang working mountain track in April and July, and its surfacing crew in Revelstoke for a crossing replacement in May, which was visible on the Revelstoke Railway Museum live camera. The posts do not name the track owner or publish quantities.
Published details are taken from Ironhorse's own linked posts.
Planning a similar project?
For a surfacing program or crossing tie-in, bring the location and mileposts, the scope, track windows, and the owner's acceptance requirements.
Project questions
Does Ironhorse do track surfacing in British Columbia?
Yes. Ironhorse's own posts show its surfacing gang working mountain track in British Columbia through the 2026 season, including surfacing for a crossing replacement in Revelstoke in May 2026.
What should a BC track owner send to book a surfacing gang?
Send the subdivision and mileposts or the site location, the type of track and its owner, the surfacing scope (tamping, lining, regulating, or spot work), the available track windows, and the target dates.
What to bring to a similar project
Planning considerations for a new brief, based on the type of work documented here.
- Give mileposts and access points so the gang and machines can be routed to site.
- Match the surfacing scope to the track window: production surfacing, spot work, or crossing tie-ins.
- Plan crossing replacements with surfacing so the approaches are tamped and lined before reopening.
