Blog: RailComm: Control Anything Anywhere. Monroe County's Hidden Gem

Tucked away in Fairport, N.Y. resides a one-story-office park where a growing company, named RailComm, stands to be one of the biggest names in rail infrastructure.

Recently, I had the opportunity to tour this amazing, innovative company and couldn't be more proud with all the work they have been doing. This small business writes and operates software that runs rail yards and tracks equipment like rail switches, and they truly live up to their motto, "Control Anything Anywhere."

RailComm got their start at High Tech Rochester and 15 years later, they are thriving and improving our nation's rail infrastructure, which is a critically important ingredient for a healthy economy. Their innovative ideas are produced by a tight knit group of bright engineers and sales associates, and it is that closeness that creates a family atmosphere and cultivates such brilliant ideas.

Not only has RailComm helped increase rail safety and efficiency, but it also allows our nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and is a driver for environmental sustainability. According to the Association of American Railroads: freight rails can move a ton of freight 480 miles on one gallon of fuel, and a single freight train can haul 280 trailers, taking this traffic off our congested highways. RailComm is doing their part in being green and helping reduce the emission of harmful gasses into the atmosphere. RailComm's better rail systems even reach overseas into Latin America, Africa, and are even New Zealand. RailComm is limitless, and their products are moving both goods and people faster and safer than ever before.

RailComm brings to our attention the importance of investing in safe, quality rail infrastructures because it creates jobs while making a positive impact in the United States and around the world. I couldn't be more proud to represent RailComm and I am so please to have them in our community!
