DALLAS - RailPros announced October 9 that it has acquired Design Nine, Inc.
Design Nine, Inc. is based in St. Louis and was founded in 1986, according to the release from RailPros. It offers rail engineering services that encompass rehabilitation of bridges, site development, facility design, inspection services, and construction support, among others.
