MxV Rail announces the grand opening of its new Heavy Duty Maintenance Facility (HDMF) at Pueblo Plex.

The modern, fully equipped HDMF facility offers indoor space for the service of train locomotives, components, and cars under protective cover. MxV Rail’s team of experts uses the site to advise industry research partners and clients, and there is ample privacy in the new space.

Everything—equipment, skills, or insights—is at hand to support the instrumentation, investigation, and troubleshooting services required to conduct rail industry research. The HDMF facility also underscores MxV Rail's commitment to expanding capabilities and advancing rail technology. It was completed on schedule and informed by feedback from industry stakeholders.

"Here at MxV Rail, we're a highly skilled team with backgrounds in every facet of the rail industry," said Jason Samuels, General Manager, Transportation/Mechanical. "With the new HDMF facilities, we're expanding our capabilities, thinking outside the box, and helping test programs succeed."

The HDMF team is proud to be behind the scenes supporting the heavy maintenance required for the world-famous Facility for Accelerated Service Testing (FAST®) program, and this year has been busy problem-solving with engineering teams to drive innovation in de-carbonization technologies.

MxV Rail's HDMF team is ready to deliver unparalleled service for intensive heavy maintenance work or specialized projects.
