- HISTORY: Alliance Wheel Services L.L.C. (Alliance) is a manufacturer and assembler of railroad wheelsets used in freight railcars, centrally located in Washington, Illinois. Alliance Wheel Services LLC began as the result of an unfortunate incident that occurred at this facility in January 2009. The main building of the railroad wheel, axle, and air brake facility that had served the railroad industry under the name of American Allied Railway Equipment Co. Inc. for over 40 years, and then operated under the name of Greenbrier Rail Services as their highest production wheel shop was destroyed by fire. The former Company decided to move the remaining assets of the facility to other facilities, thus idling some 40 to 50 highly skilled and trained employees. The management team who had managed the facility for both American Allied Railway Equipment Co Inc. and Greenbrier Rail formed Alliance Wheel Services LLC and were determined to rebuild the facility and put as many of those loyal employees back to work as possible. Beginning wheel and axle mounting and reconditioning operations again at this facility in 2010, Alliance Wheel Services has grown to employ and re-employ over 30 excellent employees, many of whom have worked decades at this facility. We supply AAR approved and M-1003 certified new and reconditioned material to a number of United States Railroads as well as numerous railway car repair and maintenance facilities.
