Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC) announced today that its rail
division has signed a nearly $31-million contract with Saudi
Railway Company (SAR) to provide it with a 60-stone rail grinder.
Additionally, to support the immediate needs of the customer,

mechanics based in Saudi Arabia will operate a 20 stone machine and
handle all customer requests. Additionally, Harsco Rail will
establish a local warehouse for spares and consumables for all
customers in the region.

valued supplier that delivers innovative and sustainable advanced
