119RE rail (119lb rail) is a widely used heavy-duty rail profile for high-load rail applications. It meets AREMA specifications and delivers reliable load distribution with a long service life, even under continuous wheel impact. This rail section is commonly used in railway lines, port crane rails, and industrial transport systems that demand stable performance in harsh operating environments.
The dimensions of 119lb rail help define how it performs in real-world use. Section height, head width, base width, and weight per meter all affect load handling and track stability. These values also matter when matching the rail with wheels, fastenings, and support systems. The table below lists the standard 119RE rail dimensions, including metric weight, for quick reference and project planning.
| Type of Rail | Standard | Dimensions mm | Steel Grade | Mass M | |||
| Height | Base Width | Head Width | Web Thickness | kg/m | |||
| 119RE | AREMA | 173.03 | 139.7 | 67.47 | 15.88 | IS/SS | 58.86 |
119lb rail is available in several steel grades to suit different operating conditions. Each grade offers a different balance of strength, wear resistance, and toughness. The right choice depends on factors like wheel load, traffic frequency, and service environment. The table below compares the common 119RE rail steel grades used in railway and industrial applications.
