115RE Rail
The 115RE rail, also known as the 115lb rail and TR57 rail is manufactured in accordance with AREMA standards and meets ASTM specifications. With a nominal weight of 56.9 kg per meter (approximately 115 pounds per yard), it is a widely used profile in heavy haul applications. This rail type is commonly produced from high carbon or low alloy steel and is heat-treated for increased strength and durability. It is primarily used across North and South America, especially in the U.S. and Canada, for mainline tracks, industrial routes, and mining operations.

TR57 Rail for Freight Applications
Freight Standard
115RE is a widely used standard rail on heavy freight routes, trusted by Class I railroads for consistent strength and performance.
Durable Choice
Built to endure millions of axle passes, 115RE resists fatigue and abrasion, reducing lifecycle maintenance costs on busy lines.
TR57 Profile
Widely used AREMA-standard rail compatible across U.S. and Latin American railway systems.
115lb Rail Customization Options
Precision Bending
115RE rails can be curved to meet the layout needs of heavy-duty systems. Both hot and cold bending are available.
Special Drilling
Custom drilling is available at non-standard positions. We follow your drawings to ensure reliable fit and fastening.
Protective Coating
We offer three types of protective finishes: oil coating, paint application, or zinc galvanization—chosen per your project’s environment.
Custom Cutting
Cutting services include beveled ends, angle shaping, and special joints. These help create clean weld areas and tight fits.
Packaging & Delivery Assurance
Given the heavy-duty nature of the 115RE rail, we use secure packaging to maintain stability during shipping. Rails are tightly strapped with steel bands, and waterproof covers can be provided as needed.
Components such as clips, bolts, and joint bars are packed in wooden boxes and kept steady within the container.
Our company has solid experience delivering 115RE rails to North America, Africa, and the Middle East, meeting the demands of both freight lines and infrastructure developments.
