L.B. Foster Company
announced that it has agreed on a multi-year contract extension with the Union
Pacific Railroad (UPRR) for the supply of prestressed concrete railroad ties
from its Tucson, AZ facility. The previous supply contract was set to expire
on December 31, 2012.

The extension of this contract represents significant value for L.B. Foster
Company and will help it to fund additional engineering and development of
concrete tie design for the rail industry. For many years, the CXT® brand has
been recognized as a leader in this industry. During 2012, CXT Concrete Ties
was recognized as a finalist for Plant of the Year award by IndustryWeek.
L.B. Foster's Tucson, AZ facility is dedicated to the production of concrete
tie products. The company has invested more than $15 million in production
machinery and employs approximately 50 people at the plant which has been in
operation since 2006.
The agreement to extend the Tucson Concrete Tie supply contract follows an
agreement the two companies have reached on a path forward for handling
warranty claims on concrete ties previously made at its Grand Island facility,
which was closed in 2011. L.B. Foster had been providing regular updates on
its progress with UPRR regarding their claims. The extension of the Tucson
Concrete Tie supply contract was the last step in the current action plan to
resolve the matter.
