About Inter–Rail Group

When first founded in 1979 by Jay W. Ricketts, Inter-Rail Transport, Inc. managed just one facility. Located in Walbridge, Ohio, volumes were under 6,000 automobiles a year. From modest beginnings, Inter–Rail Group has grown to become one of the premier automobile handlers in the nation. Today, with the corporate home office located in Centreville on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Inter-Rail Group now operates 30 separate facilities in 17 states. In addition to its core service of multi-level railcar loading and unloading, services include railcar pre-tripping and prepping, industrial and intermodal switching, vehicle processing and inventory management.

Keeping Up With Changing Times and Technology

As computers have gotten smaller and faster over the last 30 years, Inter–Rail has distinguished itself from other contractors by being on the forefront of technology. One of the original users of digital cameras in the late 1990’s, fast forward a decade to custom payroll and production software, and broadband scanners. In 2009, Inter–Rail's proprietary inventory management program was converted to a web-based system available for lease or purchase.
