About the Company...

TGS, formerly Econo-Rail Corporation, began in the mid-1970's in Port Arthur, Texas by offering railroad services. The new company offered in-plant rail maintenance. Then, as the company grew, rail construction was added. As the company's reputation for safety, reliability and quality grew, opportunities also grew. Rail switching and railcar storage services became part of the company package of railroad services. Completing the range of services were locomotive and railcar leasing, repair and overhaul.

In the 1980's the company developed a regional and national reputation for dependability and efficiency. The company began providing bulk material services, from deepwater terminaling and barge services to contract operation of bulk terminal facilities.

By the mid-1990's the company had matured into a national and international provider of railroad and bulk material logistical services. It became clear that the name Econo-Rail no longer described the broad capabilities of the company. Econo-Rail Corporation became Trans-Global Solutions, Inc.
