Crafton Railroad plans and supervises the construction of narrow gauge railroad lines throughout the nation. With experience working on 16", 24" and 36" track gauges, we provide both expertise and flexibility in our narrow gauge services. Our crews have the experience and necessary special equipment to complete any track installation, no matter the size. Specialized equipment automatically bends rails for best wear in all curves. This process minimizes maintenance needs in the years after installation. Crews also have on-track equipment for placing and dressing the bed rock for the track.

Since 1967, Danny Crafton has built tracks for parks and zoos across the nation. Past projects include laying track for the St. Louis Zoo, Six Flags Over Mid-America (St. Louis, MO), and Marine World (Vallejo, CA), to name a few. In 1999 and 2000, Crafton has provided varied services to a range of businesses, including the Shelby Rotary Club, Shelby, North Carolina (1600 feet), Ocala Foxtrotter Ranch, Ocala, Florida (3510 feet), and Watson Park, Wichita, Kansas (3250 feet and two switches).

Quality standard gauge railroad contracting has been the "meat and potatoes" of Crafton Railroad since its inception. We contract with private industries and short line railroads to plan, design, layout, and construct customized railroad projects. Crafton has worked with existing companies such as K.A. Steel to develop efficiency in the loading and unloading of goods. Our crews also provide these "up to the door" loading solutions for new businesses and industries.

This commitment to service and quality comes from years of experience spent exclusively in railroad contracting. In a highly regimented business dictated by set time constraints, Crafton excels by enforcing discipline and safety regulations for workers. Our specialized crews contract throughout the nation and manage each job with a strict emphasis on safety, quality, and customer satisfaction. Crafton builds to all Industrial Track Standards and guarantees the workmanship and the materials installed.
