Our rail industry roots began in 1928 when Fred H. Sasser founded Central West Refrigerator Despatch (CRDX). The following year, the Great Depression plunged the global economy into chaos. But Mr. Sasser persevered, taking the necessary steps to enhance his business and keeping his commitment to treating customers as partners. More than 90 years later, his spirit continues to guide our approach. When you entrust CF Rail Services to repair and service your railcars, our team’s commitment is to return them in better condition than when they came to us.
