59R2 Grooved Rail
The 59R2 grooved rail (also known as Ri59N) is a standard embedded rail profile designed for modern street-level tram systems. Manufactured to BS EN 14811:2006, it allows trams to run flush with paved surfaces, enabling shared use with vehicles and pedestrians in urban environments. This profile supports safe, smooth integration into roads while maintaining structural performance.

Material Grades of 59R2 Grooved Rail
59R2 grooved rail can be produced from U75V, U71Mn, or 900A, depending on project requirements. U75V delivers high surface durability for frequent wheel contact, U71Mn provides good fatigue resistance, and 900A is widely used for moderate-duty systems. All options are suitable for flush-mounted tram tracks and complex urban layouts.
Where 59R2 Grooved Rail Is Used
As a core component in modern street-level tram infrastructure, 59R2 rail is widely used in city transit lines where tracks are flush with concrete or asphalt surfaces. It supports low-floor trams that operate in mixed-traffic environments, minimizing the visual and physical impact on urban roads. This grooved profile is also ideal for areas requiring shared use by cars, cyclists, and pedestrians, contributing to the accessibility and safety of public spaces.

Why Choose the 59R2 Rail
Performance
Designed for compact tramway networks, the 59R2 rail handles tight-radius curves down to 25 meters. Its grooved geometry supports precise wheel guidance, enhancing stability and smooth operation in frequent-turn city layouts.
Installation
Installed flush within concrete or asphalt, the 59R2 rail allows smooth transitions for trams and other road users. Its flange groove matches tram wheel profiles, reducing vibration and enhancing safety in mixed-traffic or pedestrian zones.
