50E5 Rail
50E5 Rail is a high-performance European rail profile designed under the EN 13674-1 standard, also referred to as 50 kg rail or 50E5 steel rail. With a nominal weight of 49.9 kg/m, a height of 148 mm, and a base width of 135 mm, the 50E5 rail is engineered for heavy-duty railway lines, mining tracks, and industrial rail systems. Its optimized head width, web thickness, and base geometry ensure excellent load-bearing capacity, stability, and long service life, making it suitable for both mainline and specialized transport infrastructure where strength and durability are critical.

50E5 Rail Steel Grade & Material
The 50E5 Rail is commonly manufactured using high-quality steel grades such as R260 and R350HT, meeting EN 13674-1 requirements. R260 steel offers excellent toughness and wear resistance for standard railway and industrial track applications, while R350HT provides higher hardness and enhanced fatigue performance, ideal for heavy axle-load lines, mining tracks, and industrial rail systems. Below is the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the steel grades used in producing the 50E5 Rail.
Applications of 50E5 Rail
Mainline & Passenger Railways
50E5 rail is widely used in mainline and regional passenger railway lines. Its optimized head, web, and base geometry ensures stable track alignment, excellent load-bearing capacity, and long-term durability. Designed to meet EN 13674-1 standards, 50E5 rails reduce maintenance needs and deliver reliable performance for medium-to-heavy axle loads in freight and passenger transport.
Ports & Specialized Infrastructure
50E5 rails are also applied in ports, shipyards, and specialized projects such as tunnel railways and crane runways. With customization options like cutting, drilling, bending, and anti-corrosion coatings, 50E5 rails adapt to diverse project requirements. Their high stability and dimensional accuracy provide safe and efficient operation for container handling, shiplifts, and other specialized industrial rail systems.
Industrial & Mining Rail Systems
In industrial facilities and mining operations, 50E5 rails support heavy trolleys, ore wagons, and factory transport lines. Their superior wear resistance, combined with optional head-hardened steel, ensures consistent performance under high-vibration and heavy-duty conditions. This makes 50E5 rails suitable for mining rail tracks, steel mills, and industrial logistics applications.
