AREMA 136RE Rail Joint Bars

A 136RE rail joint bar (also known as a fish plate or splice bar) is designed to mechanically connect adjacent 136RE rails, maintain track alignment, and transfer wheel loads across rail joints. Widely used in heavy-haul railways, mining railways, and industrial track systems, 136RE rail joints are engineered to withstand repeated axle loads and demanding operating conditions.

Manufactured to match the dimensional profile of AREMA 136RE rails, these joint bars help distribute loads across rail connections, maintain structural alignment, and reduce localized impact stresses during train operation.

GNEE RAIL manufactures AREMA-compliant 136RE rail joint bars in forged 4-hole and 6-hole configurations and supplies matching 136RE rails, fish bolts, and fastening components. We support railway operators, contractors, distributors, and maintenance projects worldwide with complete rail joint solutions, technical documentation, and project-specific supply services.

The 136RE rail joint bar is designed to match the geometric profile of AREMA 136RE rails, ensuring proper contact across the rail head, web, and base interfaces for stable load transfer and rail alignment under service conditions.

To maintain structural compatibility and reliable field performance, all GNEE RAIL 136RE joint bars are manufactured in strict accordance with AREMA dimensional requirements and are engineered to align precisely with the mating rail section.

GNEE RAIL manufactures 136RE rail joint bars using controlled-grade carbon steel materials such as 50# and 55# steel (or equivalent structural carbon steels), selected in accordance with project requirements and international railway engineering applications.

All raw materials are processed under strict quality control systems and can be supplied in normalized, quenched, or quenched-and-tempered conditions depending on the required service performance.

Typical mechanical performance parameters can be provided upon request, including tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness values, to ensure compliance with heavy-haul railway operating conditions and rail joint fatigue requirements.

Chemical composition and mechanical test reports (MTC) are available for each production batch to support project verification and procurement documentation.

Our manufacturing facility follows controlled production workflows to ensure consistent performance of 136RE rail joint bars under heavy axle load conditions.

• Precision Hot Rolling / Forging: Heated steel billets are processed through controlled rolling or forging operations to form the joint bar profile, ensuring uniform grain flow, improved internal structure, and reduced material defects.

• CNC Punching and Drilling: Bolt holes are precisely processed using CNC equipment in accordance with AREMA dimensional requirements for 136RE rail sections, ensuring accurate alignment with matching rails.

• Controlled Quenching & Tempering: Heat treatment processes are applied to optimize hardness and tensile strength, improving wear resistance and reducing deformation risk under cyclic loading conditions at rail joints.

• Quality Inspection & Testing: Each production batch undergoes dimensional inspection, chemical composition analysis, and non-destructive testing (NDT), including ultrasonic and magnetic particle inspection.

Mill Test Certificates (MTC), inspection reports, and traceability documentation are available for every batch to support project acceptance and procurement verification.

Request MTC, Inspection Reports & Samples

GNEE RAIL supplies Mill Test Certificates (MTC) for every production batch and supports third-party inspection by SGS, BV, or client-nominated inspection agencies upon request.

We also support factory audits, sample orders, and pilot batch production for 136RE rail joint bar evaluation and project qualification.

Compromise joint bars are designed to connect two different rail profiles (e.g., 136RE to 115RE or 132RE to 115RE) while maintaining continuous rail alignment and stable load transfer across the transition zone.

These joint bars are engineered to accommodate differences in rail height, head width, and bolt spacing to ensure safe and stable track performance in mixed rail systems.

GNEE RAIL provides a complete rail fastening system compatible with 136RE and 115RE rail profiles,these components are engineered to ensure system-level compatibility, reducing installation errors and improving long-term track stability.
