60R2 Grooved Rail
The 60R2 grooved rail (also referred to as Ri60N) is a standard embedded rail profile used in modern light rail systems. Compliant with BS EN 14811:2006, it is suited for embedded tramway tracks that must integrate into city streets without disrupting other traffic or pedestrian movement.

Material Grades of 60R2 Grooved Rail
60R2 grooved rail is available in U75V, U71Mn, or 900A steel. U75V offers superior wear resistance and hardness for high-load urban systems. U71Mn balances strength and weldability, while 900A is a cost-effective option for standard tramway applications. Each grade meets the demands of embedded rail in road or mixed-traffic environments.
Where 60R2 Grooved Rail Is Used
Used extensively in modern tram networks, the 60R2 rail supports operations in mixed-use roads, intersections, and densely populated urban corridors. Its embedded design ensures tram rails are level with the pavement, enabling shared road use by cars, bikes, and pedestrians. This makes it a preferred solution in cities aiming to modernize their light rail infrastructure while preserving road accessibility.
- Shared Urban Roads
- Tram Intersections
- Densely Populated Zones
Why Choose the 60R2 Rail
Performance
The 60R2 rail provides stable, vibration-resistant support for smooth tram travel. Its precise head alignment ensures reliable contact with the wheel tread, reducing ride noise and improving vehicle guidance in high-frequency urban operations.
Geometry
With a built-in flange groove, 60R2 rail supports tight-radius curves and complex crossings. Its embedded profile integrates seamlessly into paved streets, enabling efficient network layouts in narrow corridors and multi-directional transit zones.
Why Glory Track
