“The Gulf and Ohio Railways is pleased with the relationship that we have with A&K Railroad Materials. Ms. Gougis expertise in sales, service and supplying material on time to us is very valuable. We are looking to continue our long relationship with Ms. Gougis and A&K Railroad Materials."

Kurt, Paulette, and Connie,

I’d like to thank you for helping us recover on the Mankato project. We know you could have told us to go pound sand and therefore we appreciate your willingness to lend us a hand. I’ll always remember that.

"Katrina Gougis and A&K have been an outstanding business partner for myself and STX. Katrina is a top-notch rail professional, who goes above and beyond to ensure all of our needs are met in a courteous and timely manner. Just recently, we were looking to place a large order for rail and OTM, Katrina found me the material, at a competitive price, and was able to meet our tight deadlines for delivery, allowing us to focus our energy on building the project. We appreciate the effort that Katrina expends towards STX’s ongoing requirements and look forward to continuing our solid partnership."

“I want to personally thank you for your service and prompt delivery of the material we were in desperate need of. I also want to thank you for your patience dealing with all of the changes on our second order. It is always a pleasure doing business with you and your colleagues at A&K Railroad, who take the extra step to ensure customer satisfaction.”

"Jordan Hopkin, Shantell Higbee, & Jeff Long, what a great team. They are always so helpful!"

Dakota, Missouri Valley & Western Railroad has had the pleasure of doing business with A & K for many years. Throughout that time, A & K has consistently provided superior products, competitive pricing and has strived to meet all of our time requirements. I have found all of the staff at A & K to be knowledgeable and willing to provide valuable information when we require it. I appreciate the open communication with A & K to keep us up to date on the status of our orders. This information is critical to help us with scheduling and planning of our future and ongoing projects.

Dakota, Missouri Valley & Wester Railroad has made the decision to use A & K as our key supplier. It’s a relationship that has been built over time and will remain that way for many years to come. In my role as a Purchasing Manager they simply “make my life easier”. I would highly recommend A & K to anyone, their service, quality and pricing is second to none.

“Trac-Work Inc. is very pleased with the working relationship our offices have with Dusty Popovich @ A&K Railroad Material. From beginning to end of projects Dusty stays on top of shipments & product quality.”

“Jordan Hopkin, Shantell Higbee, & Jeff Long, what a great team. They are always so helpful!”

“When we are looking for welded rail either to be picked up and moved or unloaded along our right away. A&K’s experienced crews; with their remarkable safety record is hard to beat!”

A&K Railroad Materials is extremely responsive and attentive to our needs. From start to finish we have
been very satisfied with the service. We look forward to our continued business in the future.

“A&K has always offered good customer service. I always get my quotes back on time, and they are also good at offering alternates when I’m looking for cost savings!”

Hello gang,
I just thought I’d drop a note to let you know how much we appreciate you being there. Your quick service and convenient location has been an important asset for us. In today’s business environment, unplanned projects sometimes pop up and having key suppliers like A & K on hand to provide material with short notice really makes a difference for us.

I have worked on both coasts and my experience with both A&K groups has been that they are expedient, knowledgeable, professional and more than willing to do whatever it takes to try and assist us with whatever our needs may be.

I have worked in the Railroad Construction and Maintenance of Way Industry for over thirty five years. For many of these years I have been a customer of A&K Railroad Materials.

The sales and the logistics teams, in Salt Lake City, along with the support of the Kansas City Facility have been a pleasure to do business with.

Jeff Long and Jordan Hopkin are both honest, diligent, and professional. Their integrity, concern for the customer, and attention to detail, are unsurpassed.

Jeff, Jordan, Shantell and the other members of the sales team not only deal with the normal, day-to-day items but continuously step up and go the extra mile in dealing with the, sometimes complicated, issues that are particular to this business.

Lynn Kinsey and "the yard" crew are responsive and respectful to the our needs. They try to have our order "packed and ready".

When one of our customers has a track outage, derailment, or other emergency, and Mountain States Contracting is required to respond immediately we take it for granted the A&K team will step up and assist us in getting the customer rolling again.

Mountain States Contracting will continue to utilize A&K RR Materials as a Preferred Vendor and I, personally, am pleased to provide this Letter of Recommendation.
