UIC54 R260 Rail 54E1 EN 13674 | Standard Grade Heavy Rail

UIC54 R260 Rail 54E1 EN 13674 | Standard Grade Heavy Rail

UIC54 R260 rail (54E1 profile) is the standard-grade European heavy rail for global 1435mm standard gauge railway systems. Manufactured in full compliance with EN 13674-1 standards, R260 grade is the most common and cost-effective solution for medium-traffic passenger and mixed railway lines.

With balanced structural strength, excellent dimensional stability and good weldability, UIC54 R260 rail is universally compatible with standard UIC fasteners, fishplates and concrete sleepers. It is widely used for new railway construction, track renewal and branch line upgrading across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and European regional projects.
