Transport Rails are the most familiar rails produced. They are used by freight, passenger and public-transit railways to move goods and people long distances.
The installation of Transport Rails is usually on tie-and-ballast foundations. This has encouraged rail shapes with tall profiles to better transfer wheel loads from tie-to-tie. Transport rails are all relatively heavy sections, greater than 90 lbs/ yard (44.64 kg/m).
Transport Rails are connected to one another by welding and/or by jointed connections. Rails can be supplied with either drilled or non-drilled (blank) ends as required.
