Herzog has been a transformative force within the rail industry for over five decades, working and collaborating with key partners, rising to any challenge, and delivering industry-changing products and services. It all began in 1969, when Bill Herzog started an asphalt paving company in St. Joseph, Missouri. Still true to its roots as a leading highway asphalt paving contractor, Herzog has grown to be a national provider of innovative and technology-based, turnkey rail services and solutions. Through five rail-focused companies, Herzog is the only full-service provider to the rail industry in North America that builds, operates, and maintains some of the largest passenger rail transit systems and freight networks across the U.S.
