Nature of Operations	'
	Note 1.  Nature of Operations
	Banyan Rail Services Inc. (“Banyan,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”) was originally organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1985, under the name VMS Hotel Investment Trust, for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans, principally to entities affiliated with VMS Realty Partners. The Company was subsequently reorganized as a Delaware corporation in 1987 and changed its name to B.H.I.T. Inc. In 2010, the Company changed its name from B.H.I.T. Inc. to Banyan Rail Services Inc. and purchased The Wood Energy Group, Inc. (“Wood Energy” or “Wood”). Wood Energy was engaged in the business of railroad tie reclamation and disposal.
	On January 11, 2013, Wood Energy filed a voluntary petition for reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida, which was voluntarily converted into a Chapter 7 bankruptcy on February 5, 2013.  The assets of Wood were liquidated by the Trustee of the Bankruptcy Court. The proceeds from the sale were used to satisfy a portion of secured claims, with the remainder if any, allocated to the unsecured claims.
	The Company is actively seeking acquisitions of leading companies within the industrial, energy, transportation, technology and health care industries throughout North America.
	See Note 5, Settlement Agreement Payable, regarding a settlement of the corporate guarantee for certain debts.
	Going Concern (See Note 4) The Company’s ability to continue on a going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, raising capital, implementation of the reorganization plan and finding an operating business to acquire, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Basis of Presentation	'
	Note 2.  Basis of Presentation
	We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2012 financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 2013. In September 2013, the Company effected a 1 for 5 reverse split of its common stock. Share and per share amounts have been adjusted retroactively to reflect this transaction.
	All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Although we believe that the disclosures included in our condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC.
	The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 2013 year.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, and the useful lives of intangible assets.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all cash, bank deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
	Accounts Receivable
	Trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 were recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. An allowance is estimated from historical performance and projections of trends.  Bad debt expense is charged to operations if write offs are deemed necessary. As of December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $63,938.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment owned and under capital leases were carried at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment was provided using the straight line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:
		Years
	Machinery and equipment		7-Mar
	Track on leased properties		4
	Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment were capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs were charged to expense as incurred.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Recorded financial instruments at September 30, 2013 consist of cash, accounts payable, and short-term obligations. The related fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values due to either the short-term nature of these instruments or based on the interest rates currently available to the Company.
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible preferred stock equivalents.
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
	ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
	The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a number of state jurisdictions. The tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2010.
	Retained Earnings Distributions
	The Company’s preferred stockholders are entitled to receive payment before any of the common stockholders upon a liquidation of the Company.  In addition, the Company is unable to pay dividends on its common stock until dividends are paid on its preferred stock.

Liquidity and Going Concern	'
	Note 4. Liquidity and Going Concern
	At September 30, 2013, the Company had a net working capital deficiency of $382,625, and incurred negative cash flows from operating activities of $404,182 for the period ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognizes the need to raise additional funds in order to meet working capital requirements. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise necessary capital, our growth and our ability to continue as a going concern will be curtailed. In addition, if we raise capital by selling additional shares of stock, the percentage ownership of current shareholders in Banyan will be diluted.

Settlement Agreement Payable	'
	Note 5. Settlement Agreement Payable
	As a result of Wood’s noncompliance with payment terms to Fifth Third Bank (“FTB” or “Fifth Third”) under a $3.0 million term note, and Wood’s subsequent bankruptcy filing, on February 7, 2013, FTB filed an action against Banyan in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida (Case No. CA002288XXXXMB).    At the time, Wood also owed amounts to FTB under a $1.0 million working capital line and a $520,000 capital expenditure line.  The Wood indebtedness was guaranteed by Banyan.
	On June 26, 2013 Banyan and FTB agreed to settle the action filed against Banyan by FTB in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida (Case No. CA002288XXXXMB).  In accordance with a settlement agreement, Banyan paid $200,000 to FTB on September 26, 2013, which fully satisfied its obligation.

	Note 6. Preferred and Common Stock
	On September 24, 2013, the Company issued 88,800 shares of common stock in lieu of $222,000 of cash dividends to its preferred shareholders for dividends in arrears as of June 30, 2013.
	On September 24, 2013, the Company issued 48,000 shares of common stock to Banyan Rail Holdings LLC (Banyan Holdings) as part of a private placement of common stock in exchange for cash in the amount of $203,000 and cancellation of debt in the amount of $157,000.   The proceeds of the money received were used to fund working capital requirements.  Gary O. Marino, the Company’s Chairman, is the Chief Executive Officer of Banyan Holdings and a significant stockholder of Banyan Holding’s ultimate parent company.
	In September 2013, the Company issued 6,000 shares of common stock to officers and directors of the Company in exchange for $45,000 as part of a private placement of common stock.  The proceeds of the money received were used to fund working capital requirements.
	Dividends for Series A, B and C Preferred stock are accrued for the semi-annual period ended September 30, 2013 in the amount of $124,875.  During 2012, due to the lack of cash flow, the Company offered to pay the accrued dividends in the form of shares of common stock in lieu of cash. Substantially all preferred shareholders accepted the common stock in lieu of cash and the common shares for these dividends will be paid in January 2014.
	As of September 30, 2013, Banyan Holdings owned 3,000, 10,000, 17,800 and 496,826 shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Common stock, respectively. If all shares of Preferred stock were converted by Banyan Holdings, it would own 842,560 shares of the Company or 61.2% of outstanding common stock.

Income Taxes	'
	Note 7. Income Taxes
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 0%.  The tax rate differs from the statutory federal rate of 34% primarily due to valuation allowances recorded on the Company’s net operating loss carry forward generated during the period.  The Company recorded an operating loss for the quarter, when excluding the one-time gain from discontinued operations, and has a recent history of operating losses.  After assessing the realization of the net deferred tax assets, we have recorded a valuation allowance of 100% of the value of the net deferred tax assets, as we believe it more likely than not that the Company will not realize operating profits and taxable income so as to utilize all of the net operating losses in the future.

	Prior to June 30, 2010 the Company had not adopted a formal stock option plan.  The number of options issued and the grant dates were determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board. Certain options vest at the date of grant and others vest over a one year period. The options are exercisable for periods not exceeding three to five years from the date of grant. On July 1, 2010 at its annual meeting of stockholders, the 2010 Stock Option and Award Plan was approved.
	The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes method, which takes into account variables such as estimated volatility, expected holding period, dividend yield, and the risk free interest rate. The risk free interest rate is the five year treasury rate at the date of grant. The expected life is based on the contractual life of the options at the date of grant.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, and the useful lives of intangible assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all cash, bank deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable
	Trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 were recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. An allowance is estimated from historical performance and projections of trends.  Bad debt expense is charged to operations if write offs are deemed necessary. As of December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $63,938.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment owned and under capital leases were carried at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment was provided using the straight line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:
		Years
	Machinery and equipment		7-Mar
	Track on leased properties		4
	Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment were capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs were charged to expense as incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Recorded financial instruments at September 30, 2013 consist of cash, accounts payable, and short-term obligations. The related fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values due to either the short-term nature of these instruments or based on the interest rates currently available to the Company.
Earnings Per Share	'
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible preferred stock equivalents.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
	ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
	The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a number of state jurisdictions. The tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2010.
Retained Earnings Distributions	'
	Retained Earnings Distributions
	The Company’s preferred stockholders are entitled to receive payment before any of the common stockholders upon a liquidation of the Company.  In addition, the Company is unable to pay dividends on its common stock until dividends are paid on its preferred stock.
