DISC-LOCK announced that its patented line of specialty fasteners ( Note: All DISC-LOCK Fastening Systems are FRA Approved ) for American railroads will be distributed by Houston, Texas based Railcar Parts, Inc..

Since 1988, President and founder of Railcar Parts, Inc., Scott Moore Jr. has been serving private railcar owners, railroads, rail car manufacturers, leasing companies, and repair companies with innovative solutions and excellent customer service.

Statistically there are over 3000 railroad accidents per year as documented by the FRA (Federal Railway Administration) whose job it is to: promulgate and enforce rail safety regulations; conduct research and development in support of improved railroad safety and national rail transportation policy. The frequent causes of accidents listed in the FRA reports include (category #T109) such as Track alignment irregularities, (Category # T308) of disconnected worn or broken rail stock (category #T206) Defect/missing rail fastener are all areas where DISC-LOCK products can improve Railroad safety.

U.S. railways, to improve railroad safety and lower costs, use the DISC-LOCK Railcar Fastening System. This Rapid Tension System has built in tensioning parameters thereby creating the most reliable connection at the lowest cost. The Rapid Tension System does NOT rely on installation equipment or the proficiency of the operator. Increased reliability comes from the fact that the Rapid Tension bolts have a preset tension and do not require tool calibration thus eliminating operator error. Most importantly DISC-LOCK Locking Nuts cannot vibrate loose in high vibration areas.
