A rail gauge tie rod, sometimes called gauge tie bar, gauge draw bar, is always used to prevent rails from spreading or tilting, to stabilize the rails in certain distance.

Railway Gauge Tie Rods are usually used at weak points in the track, such as temporary track, switches, sharp curves, bad ties, turnouts, etc. in order to prevent longitudinal stretching of the rails and to maintain the gauge. The casting jaws are made of a highly corrosive resistant material for long life.

According to different materials, Railway Gauge Tie Rods can be divided into ordinary gauge rods and insulated gauge rods. Some railways have track circuits, and the gauge rods are separated by insulating parts. The insulated gauge tie rod is mainly composed of iron clips, fasteners, and two-rod bodies. The ends of the two-rod bodies are connected by a joint.
An over-wide track gauge is the leading cause of derailments in industrial rail yards but our single & double ended gauge rods provide a solution.
Locomotive and freight car wheels can exert as much as lbs. of side pressure against the rails. If the ties are spongy, they can lose their spike-holding strength and allow the rails to be pushed over from the wheel-side force. A between-the-rails derailment requires crane-lifting to put the car or engine back on the rails and extensive track repair.
Our Gauge Control Rods are fabricated for standard gauge 56.5 in track and rail sizes 60-140 lbs./yd. Both can be furnished in insulated form and for the narrow gauge at extra cost.

Double-End Gauge Rods offer maximum gauge-holding security. A pair of iron jaws at each end of the double-ended gauge rod grip the rail base to hold the rails to gauge and keep the rails upright against wheel pressure.
