GAGE RODS
Gage Rods are designed for installation at weak points in track, sharp curves, switches, bad ties, temporary track, areas with poor ballast, etc. The rods hold tracks to gage by preventing spreading of rails. They will reduce the need to respike the track and will prevent tilting of rails. The standard rods are made of 1-1/4” diameter rod to fit all tee rail sections 70-lb. and above on a standard 56-1/2” gage.
Non-Insulated Single End Gage Rods have a hook on one end, and a single jaw with nut and spring lock washer on the other end. Double End Gage Rods have two jaws, two nuts, and two washers on both ends of the rod.
Single End – Weight 28 lbs
Double End – Weight 37 lbs
