A division of Bethlehem Steel Corporation, PST can claim more than a century of innovation in rail manufacturing, as well as many "firsts" in the industry, some of which are:

• first U.S. producer of steel rail
• first to produce fully heat-treated rail
• pioneered the development of control cooling and end-hardening
• first to make rail steel in an electric furnace
• first in the U.S. to make rails from continuous cast blooms

And we are maintaining our leading role with the recent installation of a DC electric arc furnace, ladle arc furnace, vacuum degasser and an in-line rail head hardening system. This is all part of our commitment to meet the rail industry's ever-increasing demand for longer-lasting rails. In the last 10 years, capital investments for improvements in the rail manufacturing process have amounted to more than $200 million.

There is a great deal more to producing quality rails than investing capital. It takes a knowledgeable and committed work force to implement capital programs successfully. PST is fortunate to have such a dedicated team that extends from technical personnel in the modern research laboratory in Bethlehem, Pa., to an experienced work force on the shop floor in Steelton. Through the combined energies of our people, PST has the ability to deliver on its commitment to provide quality, longer-lasting rails and responsive service at competitive costs.
