"...In the summer of 2004 we hired Sharma & Associates, Inc. to evaluate two bridges on our Indiana east-west mainline to determine the feasibility of upgrading the structures to handle 286,000 pound railcars.

I was impressed with the approach taken by Vinny and his associates. They carefully considered the amount of deterioration in these older structures and worked with us to help develop a cost effective plan to upgrade the bridges to enable our railroad to handle the heavier 286K railcars.

We were well pleased with the work, professionalism and reasonable rates charged by Vinny Sharma and his Associates. Our company plans to continue to use the services of Sharma & Associates, Inc. on other bridge projects in the future, and I have no reservations in recommending the use of their services to other railroads."
