136RE Rail
The 136RE rail, also known as TR68 rail and 136 lb rail, is a heavy-duty profile designed according to AREMA standards, with a nominal weight of 67.5 kg/m (136 lbs/yd). It is widely used in freight-intensive routes such as mainlines, mining operations, and industrial corridors. Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel, it offers excellent wear resistance and impact performance. With proven durability under heavy loads and high-speed traffic, 136RE is a reliable option for demanding rail infrastructure that requires strength, stability, and long-term performance.

136lb Rail for Heavy Freight Lines
High Load Capacity
At 67.5kg per meter, 136RE rail is designed for heavy-haul freight networks and routes requiring long-term load stability.
Long-Distance
Frequently used in long mainlines transporting minerals, containers, and other high-volume cargo with reliable performance.
Fatigue Resistant
Built to handle repeated high-speed and high-load operations, minimizing deformation and increasing track service life.
136RE Rail custom processing options
Precision Bending
We support bending of 136RE rails for curved alignments . All bends are made to match your specs.
Special Drilling
We offer custom drilling along the base or web. Each pattern is guided by your technical drawings.
Protective Coating
Available surface treatments include anti-rust oil, protective paint, or zinc coating. The best fit is chosen to suit your environment.
Custom Cutting
We process rail ends with precision, offering chamfers, angled cut, and customized joints. This improves weld quality and fitment.
Packaging & Delivery Assurance
136RE rails are bundled with strong steel straps to prevent movement during long-haul transport. Waterproof wrapping is available if additional moisture protection is required.
Associated parts like fishplates, elastic clips, and fastening sets are placed in wooden boxes and securely arranged for shipping.
We have supported railway and construction projects in regions such as Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East, and ensure safe, on-time delivery of heavy rail solutions like the 136RE.
