Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group expands project logistics with a new locomotive, its own wagon fleet and a dedicated logistics team.
Since April 2025, Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group has been expanding its services in Germany: at its Halle/Saale site, the company now operates and dispatches its own rail-based logistics. This expansion is a direct response to growing demand for transport and supply solutions.
A new dual-mode locomotive highlights the capabilities of this new offering. Paired with a proprietary fleet of Rens freight wagons, the loco performs traction services for material supply and removal – primarily within project operations. A five-person logistics team is on hand to manage all rail operations requirements. The new logistics division now offers planning, operational locomotive and train driver services, and transport solutions.
The deployment of the new locomotive at the Halle/Saale site was made possible through cross-location collaboration within the Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group. The vehicle is drawn from the mechanised track construction equipment pool a prime example of how internal collaboration drives the strategic development of service offerings.
From its base in Halle/Saale, the logistics division will be able to quickly and strategically support other sites and construction projects across Germany. This not only supplements the existing logistics infrastructure but also reinforces RSRG’s value promise to its customers.
