AREMA 115RE & 132RE Turnout and Frog
AREMA 115RE and 132RE turnouts, along with their associated frogs, represent key components in railway track systems adhering to the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) standards. The 115RE and 132RE refer to the rail profiles, with 115RE having a rail weight of 115 pounds per yard and 132RE having a rail weight of 132 pounds per yard.
Turnouts in these specifications play a pivotal role in guiding trains from one track to another. They are designed with precision and durability to withstand heavy loads and ensure smooth transitions. The frogs, integral parts of turnouts, are engineered to facilitate the diverging and converging paths of railway tracks, minimizing wear and tear on wheels.
These AREMA-standard turnouts and frogs contribute to the safety and efficiency of railway operations by providing reliable junctions that meet industry benchmarks. They are crucial elements in the development of robust rail networks, enhancing the overall functionality and performance of the railway infrastructure.
