OREANDA-NEWS. EVRAZ ZSMK has shipped the first lot of 100-meter HH350HS rails to Russian Railways. The rails will be delivered to Oktyabrskaya Railway and laid in track of high-speed railroad between Saint-Petersburg and Moscow.

HH350HS head-hardened rails are intended for high-speed mixed traffic with speeds up to 250 km/hour. The product has no substitute in the world; it ensures smooth and comfortable passenger traffic and allows freight trains to develop higher speed.
