60R2 Rail
Product Overview
The 60R2 rail (also called Ri 60-R13 / Ri 60 N R ) is a heavy-duty grooved rail profile defined under EN 14811:2006 (European standard) and widely used in urban light rail systems, particularly for tramways and integrated street-running transit networks. It shares similarities with the 59R2 rail but offers enhanced load-bearing capacity and precision engineering for high-traffic urban environments.
