50kg Asymmetrical Rail

A 50kg switch rail is used in railway turnouts to allow trains to change tracks safely and smoothly. It forms part of the mechanism that guides the train wheels from one rail line to another, typically at junctions, crossings, or sidings.

60kg Asymmetrical Rail

A 60kg switch rail is used in railway turnouts to facilitate the safe and smooth diversion of trains from one track to another. Designed for heavier and faster trains, it forms a key part of the track-switching system, moving laterally to create a continuous path between diverging tracks.
