Company History

Harris Eldridge, Ralph Jackson, and Mike Jackson founded Ameritrack—then known as Ameritrack Railroad Contractors, Inc.— in 2003 and were shortly thereafter joined by Mike Eldridge in December 2004.

Harris Eldridge and Ralph Jackson formerly owned Armcore Railroad Contractors, Inc. from 1978-1998. Armcore was sold to Railworks as it formed in November of 1998. The four original owners had a combined 117 years of experience in the railroad construction industry. Harris Eldridge formally retired on December 31, 2010.

Ameritrack was a full service railroad contractor providing maintenance and rehabilitation, new construction, road crossings, surfacing, 24/7 emergency call out and rail design/engineering. When Mike Jackson joined in 2004 bringing his Auto Cad skills, it enabled Ameritrack to not only engineer small, regional projects, but it also opened opportunities for larger scale projects throughout the entire Midwest. Since 2005 Ameritrack has designed and constructed rail systems from New York to Kansas.

In response to customer’s requests and to better serve their growing customer base in the state of Kansas, Ameritrack partnered with ASM Engineering and formed Ameritrack West, Inc. in 2009, located in El Dorado, Kansas. With the new partnership Ameritrack/ Ameritrack West then offered complete civil design along with their rail design expertise. Continuing to offer all previous services, Ameritrack has been a steadily growing force in the industrial rail construction industry.
