Hill Railroad Car Company

Founded in 1989, Hill Railroad Car Company is built on the philosophy of old-fashioned quality for a reasonable price. We started out with a rail siding as our first shop and a truck as our administrative office. Although over the years the name has changed, the values the original company was founded upon have not. Now 19 years later, the company has grown into a multifaceted corporation with two car shops, a fabrication shop, an office complex, and a mobile repair service.

ncir_state The Hill Railroad Car Company is located in New Castle, Pennsylvania, and provides freight car servicing, repair, and rebuilding services to railroad customers around the region. Hill sells new, used, and reconditioned bolsters, side frames, couplers, yokes, and other truck assemblies; the facility performs railcar repairs and rehabilitation in its multi-track shop building. The New Castle facility has a sister operation in nearby Struthers, Ohio. The New Castle shop uses a leased switcher for internal car moves and interchanges railcars with the adjacent New Castle Industrial Railroad.
