PSC Group recently expanded its railcar repair operations through the acquisition of 32 Rescar operations located across the United States. Founded in 1969, Rescar offers repair, inspection, cleaning, switching, and maintenance services for railcars and ISO tank containers.
“We are excited to welcome these operations and employees to the PSC family,” PSC CEO Joel Dickerson said in a news release. “The breadth and depth of leadership expertise, strong reputation for excellent customer service, and expanded geographic reach coming with this acquisition will enable us to more effectively and efficiently serve our customers’ growing repair, cleaning, and inspection needs.”
Following this acquisition, PSC’s combined railcar repair, cleaning, and inspection business will span 40 states and provide on-site mini-shop repair service to 35 different facilities and will operate a network of 25 mobile repair hubs with over 100 mobile repair trucks. PSC’s comprehensive repair offerings include tank car and service equipment qualification, lining and coating repair, railcar cleaning, railroad repair agents, inspection services, and freight car running repairs. PSC’s railcar repair headquarters will be housed at their Bayport rail terminal in close proximity to the Houston ship channel, where the executive leadership team, customer service excellence center, and troubleshooting departments will be located.
“With the acquisition of Rescar, we are not only bringing on great employees and expanding our footprint—we’re unlocking a new chapter of innovation, growth, and opportunity,” said John Kennedy, PSC SVP of operations. “We are poised to amplify the value we can create for customers and redefine what’s possible in our industry.”
The acquisition is PSC’s second since recapitalizing with TJC and follows the Delta Petroleum acquisition completed in 2024.
“I am extremely pleased to have worked with PSC and its exceptional leadership across the country, both in the field and at the corporate level,” Rescar CEO Joe Schieszler said. “PSC is the ideal successor for this business and will be strong stewards of its customer relationships, employees, and the broader Rescar legacy.”
