Import Tips & Compliance

Specify exact rail section (141RE) and AAR contour on all documentation to prove specialized purpose

Provide heat treatment records showing minimum 80 ksi yield strength required for joint integrity

Avoid bundling with general fasteners—invoice separately as track construction material
