UIC60 Rail 60E1 EN 13674 | 1435mm Standard Gauge Heavy Railway Rail

UIC60 rail, also designated as 60E1 rail profile, is the world’s most widely adopted heavy rail for 1435mm standard gauge railway systems. Manufactured strictly compliant with EN 13674-1 standards, it serves railway networks across Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and many international transit projects.

With mature cross-section design, balanced load capacity and universal matching fastening systems, UIC60 rail is compatible with abundant standard fishplates, rail clips and sleepers globally. We supply multiple steel grades including R260, R350HT and head-hardened options to match regular mixed traffic, heavy freight and high-demand transport lines. Reliable dimensional consistency guarantees easy installation and long-term operational stability.
