The 60E1 (UIC60) rail model is manufactured according to the European standard EN -1. It is used for railroad construction. This is a type T section rail (flat botom rails) with a 60.21 kg mass per meter. For a standard track is used the 60E1/UIC60 rail for medium and heavy load traffic.

The origin of the standard for the manufacture of this type of Steel Track comes from the International Union of Railways, founded in , with the objective of promoting the global rail traffic and confront the transportation challenges and promote the sustainable development.

UIC60 Rails

UIC60 rail, also known as 60E1 or 60 kg/m rail, is the heaviest and most robust profile within the European UIC standard series. Designed to support extreme axle loads and high-speed rail operations, it is widely adopted in national railway systems, metro networks, and heavy-duty freight corridors. With a weight of 60.21 kg/m and a height of 172 mm, UIC60 offers superior stability, wear resistance, and track alignment over long service life.

Material Grade

Typically produced using UIC 900A or R260 grade steel, which offers excellent fatigue resistance, weldability, and durability under high axle loads.

Applications of UIC60 Rail

High-Speed Tracks

UIC60 rails are made of 900A with excellent strength and fatigue resistance, making them ideal for lines operating at speeds up to 350 km/h. They are widely used across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Freight Rail Lines

Designed for high axle loads, UIC60 rails offer excellent load-bearing capacity and wear resistance. Made from  high-carbon steel, they minimize deformation and wear under heavy freight traffic, extending track lifespan.

Mainline Railways

As the backbone of national rail transport, mainline routes demand high-performance rail. UIC60 rails meet these standards with their balanced mechanical properties, supporting safe and smooth operation for both passenger and freight trains.

Urban Transit Rails

UIC60 rails are also used in metro and light rail networks. With high stability and smoothness, they reduce vibration and noise, improve ride comfort, and simplify installation and maintenance in high-frequency urban operations
