59R2 Rail
Product Overview
The 59R2 (also known as Ri59N or Ri59-R13) is a grooved-rail profile defined under EN 14811:2006 and manufactured within G or R tolerance groups, ensuring consistent verticality and optimal rail-wheel contact. Widely used in modern tram and light-rail applications—particularly in urban street-running transit networks—59R2 rails provide a low-profile solution for embedding in pavements while meeting all requirements of the European standard.

Light Rail Transit (LRT)
Deployed in dedicated LRT lines for efficient, low-noise urban transport.
Compatible with rubber-tyred or steel-wheeled vehicles .
Heritage Railways
Used in narrow-gauge heritage lines for heavy steam locomotives.
Industrial Heavy Haul
Rarely used in industrial settings due to its urban-focused design, but suitable for specialized heavy-duty applications requiring road-rail integration.
