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" gauge.

Single End Gage Rods have a hook on one end, and a single jaw with nut and spring lock washer on the other end. Weight - 28 lbs.

Double End Gage Rods have two jaws, two nuts, and two washers on both ends of the rod. Weight - 37 lbs.

Insulated Gage Rods are also available for track with signals or anywhere that electrical insulation is required. The most common style features a special high impact-strength nylon. The insulator is fixed permanently into position and cannot move out of place after installation. Both single and double end insulated rods can be supplied, and "insulation kits" to convert standard rods are also available.
