Class I and Regional Railroads Served
Built on the ground. Operating at the top.
TBS is not a study group. We are a deployable rail division built on 19 years of doing the actual work. Launching railroads. Directing operations. Negotiating Class I & Shortline contracts. Managing the kind of infrastructure decisions that do not have a second chance.
Our founder has operated trains on Norfolk Southern, managed Canada's second largest port terminal at Canadian Pacific, launched a 430-mile railroad from scratch at RailUSA, directed a $180M commuter rail system at SFRTA, and is actively supporting the NEC infrastructure project.
That is the difference. Not just credentials on a wall. Work in the field
Why TBS Exists
STEWARDSHIP
Every responsibility we take on gets our full attention and follow-through. No exceptions.
HONESTY
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. That is the only way real progress gets made.
AUTHENTICITY
Real expertise. Real people. Real substance. We do not perform competence. We deliver it.
RESPECT
Every person we work with is seen correctly, represented correctly, and treated with dignity.
EXCELLENCE Through Execution
We build things that stand up in front of clients without apology.
I built TBS because my best work has always happened when I own the outcome.
This firm exists to do real work, represent people honestly, and leave things better than we found them.
