A & K Railroad Materials, Inc.

A&K Railroads Materials Inc. began in Oakland, California when a young man with unusual business savvy recognized an opportunity. It was 1959. Nineteen year-old Kern Schumacher learned that thousands of railroad ties were about to be removed from the lower deck of the Oakland Bay Bridge. He persuaded a Bay Area salvage expert to help him organize the A&K Tie Company. Kern soon found himself co-owner of the largest supply of used railroad ties in the country.

Today, A&K Railroad Materials, is the nation's leading supplier of new and used track materials. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, A&K has regional sales offices, satellite sales offices and a network of storage and distribution centers strategically located throughout the United States. Together, these offices and locations maintain the most extensive and comprehensive inventory of new, relay, and reconditioned rail and track materials in the nation.
