Strength of Train Rails
Strength of Train Rails
(OP)
I am looking for information on the yield and tensile strength of 90lb. A.R.E.A. Train Rail.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Strength of Train Rails
What you are looking for is the material properties of the crane rails and not the section properties.
Obtain a copy of ASTM A759. It may have the material properties listed.

9020 ARA OH Inland USA 1926
9020 ARA IS Co. Gary 1912
9020 ARA OH Tennessee USA 1934
Does anyone have a Manual for Railway Engineering of that era (1912 to 1934) that lists tensile and yield for standard chemistry rail steel?
