The size of rail used on Light and Heavy Rail transit systems is driven by the fact that nothing smaller than 132 lb rail is rolled in this country. BART was built with 115 lb rail because this was the size of rail required to carry the return current. Extensions are built with 132 because this the smallest rail still made in US.
