115RE Rail
What is 115RE Rail?
115RE Rail is one tee section rail manufactured according to AREMA Standard, it is designed as a heavy-duty rail with a nominal weight of 56.89 kg/m, which is 115 lb/yd. AGICO also supplies the equivalent steel rail models, such as TR57 rail and lb115 rail of the same weight. 115RE rails are widely used in the railways of North and South America.
Production Process of 115RE Rail adopted with heat-treatment technology, it is produced for high-strength, heavy-haul, and high-traffic rail applications, including mainline railways, heavy freight corridors, port and terminal tracks, mining rail systems, industrial trackage, and heavy equipment tracks.
115 RE Rails for Sale
The 115RE AREMA rail is a rail type manufactured in accordance with U.S. railway standards. The “115” designation indicates a unit weight of 115 pounds per yard (≈ 52.16 kg per yard). This rail weight of the 115RE can directly reflect steel density and section geometry, but also affects the load-carrying capability and suitability of the rail for various operating conditions. 115RE Rail is designed wih balanced section properties and cost-performance, it is widely used in light rail systems, lower-tonnage freight lines, and industrial tracks.

115RE Rail Profile Dimension Details:
- Head width: 69.06 mm means the distance between the extremities of the rail head, governing wheel-rail contact conditions and overall load-bearing capacity.
- Base width: 139.7 mm is the width of the rail base, critical for stability and bearing performance on sleepers/ties.
- Overall height: 168.28 mm The vertical distance from the base to the head top. For 115RE steel grade, this height provides adequate bending strength for light to medium-heavy duty operations while maintaining structural stability at higher speeds or under heavier axle loads.
- Web thickness: 15.88 mm which is essential for torsional resistance and impact performance. The 15.88-mm web improves overall structural integrity and enhances resistance to lateral and longitudinal deformation.
