Stone Consulting is an engineering firm that was formed to provide a dynamic, creative environment for its professional staff while offering first class results for clients. With our extensive experience in engineering, consulting, railroading and industrial development, we bring knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm to each project.

Stone Consulting has been at its downtown Warren, Pennsylvania location since 1996, first as Stone Consulting & Design, Inc., and then as the Warren PA office of TranSystems, Inc. from 2007 – 2010. Since 2010, we have been an independent employee-managed company of Stone Consulting, Inc. In New York State, we do business as Stone Consulting & Design, P.C.

Though we are a “small” engineering firm, currently at 8 employees, Stone Consulting is known nationally for its railroad expertise. The staff is licensed in 47 states and has provided design services in most of those states. Stone Consulting has two professional engineers on staff, one intern engineer (EIT) as well as experts in railroad design, equipment and operations.

Combine the "hands-on" experience in track engineering and an all-encompassing knowledge of the rail industry with a hearty grasp of today's economics and you have a firm ready to serve your project needs.

Our design staff frequently participates in on-site inspection to better help us serve our clients' needs. All design team members have rail-specific experience for the unique considerations of rail engineering.

Standard computer design tools include AutoCAD Civil 3-D Civil Engineering design software, and STAAD-Pro structural analysis software. AutoCAD integration with Google imagery and surface models for conceptual design purposes has been accomplished with several rail projects.

Stone Consulting encourages our employees to enroll in continuing education classes offered by AREMA, the Institute for Railroad Engineering, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison among others.

Project management organization at Stone Consulting revolves around Project Manager central contact, with a designated, project-specific team of individuals providing specific technical and work task support. The Project Manager reports directly to a Professional Engineer.

All reports and deliverables are edited and finish reviewed by Mr. Stone. Final project review and assurance is confirmed by frequent and detailed client-level communication.
