Rail Maintenance: An Essential Operational Requirement

In the railway environment, performance depends on regularity, safety, and cleanliness. Poorly maintained rails not only endanger rolling stock — they also compromise passenger safety, service punctuality, and infrastructure longevity.


Dirt, debris, snow, and ice quickly accumulate on tracks and in critical areas such as switches. Rapid and appropriate intervention is crucial — and for that, you need reliable, robust equipment compatible with your environment.


That’s exactly what Brosses Lacasse rail cleaning brushes are designed to provide.

A Complete Range of Railway Brushes for Every Situation

We design and manufacture a full range of technical brushes specifically engineered for railway network maintenance. Our products are used by maintenance teams on urban, intercity, and freight networks throughout Quebec and Canada.

Our specialized railway
brushes include:

Switch Brooms

Designed to quickly clear snow, ice, metallic dust, or sand, ensuring smooth operation of switching mechanisms, especially during cold months.

Ballast Brushes

Ideal for cleaning around the rails, removing debris that can accumulate in the ballast area and cause excessive vibrations or structural damage.

Under-Vehicle Brushes (Mounted Systems)

Installed on trains or maintenance vehicles, these brushes provide continuous cleaning while in motion, without interrupting railway traffic. Suitable for various types of rolling stock.

Manual Brushes for Targeted Operations

Perfect for inspections or specific interventions in hard-to-reach areas or during preventive maintenance operations.

Durable Solutions Designed for Extreme Conditions

The railway environment demands exceptional resistance from cleaning tools. Rain, sleet, ice, heat, abrasive dust, chemicals — the list is long. Our brushes are built to last.

Key Technical Features:

  • Robust Fibers: Steel, stainless steel, high-resistance nylon
  • Reinforced Supports: Galvanized or stainless steel, industrial aluminum
  • Anti-Corrosion Design: Suitable for wet or salt-exposed areas
  • Thermal Resistance: Reliable performance under extreme temperatures

Each component is selected to deliver optimal performance without compromising safety or efficiency

Seamless Integration into Your Operations

Most of our models can be:

  • Mounted directly on your railway vehicles

  • Adapted to existing maintenance systems

  • Used manually by field teams
We also offer customized adaptations based on your technical specifications. Whether you need standard models or tailored solutions, our expert team supports you at every step.

Winter Focus: Mastering Snow and Ice

In Canada, railway networks face major challenges every year due to harsh winter conditions. Switches can freeze, rails become slippery, and electronic systems may be disrupted by ice or foreign debris.

Our winter brushes are designed to:
  • Quickly clear tracks and prevent buildup

  • Keep switches operational

  • Minimize the need for chemical deicers

  • Avoid costly service interruptions
Available in standard or custom models, they provide a reliable response to the needs of railway operators during cold seasons.
