Glory Steel Work is a professional supplier of American Standard AREMA rails, providing high-performance rail solutions that strictly adhere to AREMA specifications for heavy-haul railways, industrial tracks, and large-scale infrastructure projects across North America and globally.
We possess a deep understanding of the stringent AREMA requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, and geometric tolerances, ensuring every rail meets the most rigorous project acceptance standards. From the widely used 136RE and 133RE for main heavy-haul lines to the 115RE and 119RE suited for industrial yards and ports, we offer the complete series. Supported by ample inventory and efficient custom processing services (cutting, drilling), we guarantee the on-time delivery and seamless installation for your project.
AREMA rail sets the standard for heavy-duty track worldwide. Developed by the American Railway Engineering Association, this standard is the essential reference for designing and sourcing rails for heavy-haul lines, industrial yards, and crane runways.
Choosing AREMA rail means selecting for your project:

AREMA rails are classified by strength level to match different axle loads, traffic density, and wear conditions.
At Glory Steel Work, we supply Standard Strength (SS), Intermediate Strength (IS), and High Strength / Head Hardened (HH) rails in full compliance with AREMA specifications.
Depending on project requirements, AREMA rails can be produced using Carbon Steel or Low Alloy Steel chemistry, both strictly controlled within AREMA 2019 chemical composition limits.
| Mechanical Properties | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specs | Steel Grade | Hardness HB | Tensile Strength ksi | Yield Strength ksi | Elongation % |
| AREMA (Carbon Steel Chemistry) | Standard Strength (SS) | ≥ 310 | ≥ 142.5 | ≥ 74.0 | ≥ 10 |
| Intermediate Strength (IS) | ≥ 350 | ≥ 155.0 | ≥ 105.0 | ≥ 10 | |
| High Strength / Head Hardened (HH) | ≥ 370 | ≥ 171.0 | ≥ 120.0 | ≥ 10 | |
Manufacturing AREMA rails is not only about meeting minimum mechanical values, but about maintaining consistent performance across every heat and every rail length. At Glory Steel Work, AREMA rail production follows a controlled process designed to ensure strength, hardness, and chemistry remain stable throughout the entire batch.
This process-driven approach allows us to deliver AREMA rails with repeatable quality, not just compliant test results.
Beyond compliance and performance, successful AREMA rail projects depend on supply reliability and execution capability.
Glory Steel Work supports AREMA rail procurement with a project-oriented approach focused on delivery, flexibility, and communication.
If you are sourcing AREMA rails for a new line, renewal program, or long-term supply, we are ready to support your project from specification to delivery.
