Eagle Railcar Services has announced the completion of a major expansion at its Junction City, Kansas facility, further solidifying the shop as a high-capacity service hub in the Midwest. The project adds more than 21,300 square feet of new shop space and 12 under-roof car spots, significantly boosting throughput and interdepartmental flow across key service lines.
Since acquiring the Junction City location in 2022, Eagle Railcar Services has invested heavily in infrastructure upgrades, certifications, and operational expansion. The recent build-out adds targeted improvements across three core areas—mechanical, paint, and pressure differential (PD) car handling.
Marc Walraven states, the mechanical expansion includes six new car spots under roof, a 10,800-square-foot building equipped with an overhead crane, added finishing areas, and dedicated valve and hopper assembly space. On the coatings side, the new paint extension introduces two car spots and 4,200 square feet of workspace tailored for automated mixing units (AMUs), curing, QA, and touch-up finishing. The third addition, a 6,300-square-foot paint and PD extension, provides four more spots for PD cars and room for assembly, heat, and specialized finishing processes.
“These upgrades are more than just added space—they’re a continuation of our effort to streamline operations and provide fast, high-quality service at a location that continues to grow in importance for our customers,” said a spokesperson from Eagle Railcar Services. “Junction City’s central position makes it a natural go-to for fleets in the Midwest, and this expansion ensures we can meet rising demand with efficiency.”
In addition to shop improvements, the site now boasts 400 total car spots across 66 acres—up 120% from its previous capacity. The shop’s capabilities include 24 repair spots under roof, 14 paint/lining positions, four cleaning lanes, four flaring stations, and an automated cleaning system. With land available for future development, Eagle has also positioned Junction City to support new services such as transloading and storage if customer needs continue to grow.
Customers in petrochemicals, agriculture, energy, and industrial transport sectors are already utilizing Junction City’s expanded offerings, making it one of Eagle’s most active and dynamic sites.
