This is a switch point rail and was used for about ten years without any problem. Now it is transferred to our company for repairment but after a month being at the outdoor, before repairing the fracture occurred.
Thanks for your answer.
Yesterday I captured some clear photos of cracks.
Actually it is obvious that there was a crack at the location of the fracture.
I have to add that the rail is at the outdoor environment for about a month and the rust can be from this.
Now, we should discuss 1-What caused...
Hello everybody

This rail is made of R260 steel.
Let me know if any other information is needed.
I have attached pictures of this rail.
Thanks in advance
