“BROOKVILLE remains committed to serving its mining customers through the development of new, reliable products, adding value to the hardworking crews in a critical industry,” said BROOKVILLE President, Rick Graham. “Beyond the tangible value and utility, a reliable flat car can add to the maintenance and operation of a mine, developing fleets of flat cars for our mining customers will simplify lifecycle management, with BROOKVILLE capable of serving as a single source of aftermarket support for rail fleets in the industry.”

BROOKVILLE and Blackhawk Mining, LLC. have agreed to test the pilot unit at one of Blackhawk’s mining locations, which will include onsite testing and validation. The rigorous testing process is currently underway and will continue over the next few months.

This flat car is modeled as a flat car deck trailer and is designed to be hauled by locomotives through the mines to transport equipment or other operations and maintenance supplies.

BROOKVILLE is currently accepting orders for 2024 deliveries for Flat Cars. A Sales Manager is also available to talk about other locomotive or personnel carrier needs.
