Single & Double Ended Gauge Control Rods | Aldon Company, Inc.

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.

For more information, please visit Yongyang.

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.

Straight Track
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.
