A rail manufacturing method comprising: hot-rolling a heated steel rail material by at least one first rolling mill (3A1...3AK); and adjusting a temperature by cooling the hot-rolled steel rail material; characterized in that: the method further comprises: rolling the steel rail material subjected to the temperature adjustment into a rail shape at the adjusted temperature, and at an area reduction ratio of 20% or more by at least one second rolling mill (3AK+1...3AN, 3B); in the adjusting a temperature of the steel rail material, a surface portions of the steel rail material corresponding to a head portion and a foot portion of the rail shape are cooled so that the temperatures of the surface portions reach 500°C or more and 1,000°C or less by a cooling device arranged between the at least one first rolling mill (3A1...3AK) and the at least one second rolling mill (3AK+1...3AN, 3B); and after the rolling, heat-treating the rail by forcibly cooling at an average cooling rate of 1°C/s or more and 10°C/s or less from a surface temperature of 730°C or more until the surface temperature reaches 600°C or less, wherein the steel material has a composition comprising 0.60% or more and 1.05% or less carbon, 0.1% or more and 1.5% or less silicon (Si), 0.01% or more and 1.5% or less manganese (Mn), 0.035% or less phosphorus, 0.030% or less sulfur, 0.1% or more and 2.0% or less chromium (Cr), 0.5% or less antimony (Sb), optionally at least one of: 0.01% or more and 1.0% or less copper (Cu); 0.01% or more and 0.5% or less nickel (Ni); 0.01% or more and 0.5% or less molybdenum (Mo); 0.001% or more and 0.15% or less vanadium; 0.001% or more and 0.030% or less niobium (Nb), and the balance being iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities. hot-rolling a heated steel rail material by at least one first rolling mill (3A1...3AK); and adjusting a temperature by cooling the hot-rolled steel rail material; characterized in that: the method further comprises: rolling the steel rail material subjected to the temperature adjustment into a rail shape at the adjusted temperature, and at an area reduction ratio of 20% or more by at least one second rolling mill (3AK+1...3AN, 3B); in the adjusting a temperature of the steel rail material, a surface portions of the steel rail material corresponding to a head portion and a foot portion of the rail shape are cooled so that the temperatures of the surface portions reach 500°C or more and 1,000°C or less by a cooling device arranged between the at least one first rolling mill (3A1...3AK) and the at least one second rolling mill (3AK+1...3AN, 3B); and after the rolling, heat-treating the rail by forcibly cooling at an average cooling rate of 1°C/s or more and 10°C/s or less from a surface temperature of 730°C or more until the surface temperature reaches 600°C or less, wherein the steel material has a composition comprising 0.60% or more and 1.05% or less carbon, 0.1% or more and 1.5% or less silicon (Si), 0.01% or more and 1.5% or less manganese (Mn), 0.035% or less phosphorus, 0.030% or less sulfur, 0.1% or more and 2.0% or less chromium (Cr), 0.5% or less antimony (Sb), optionally at least one of: 0.01% or more and 1.0% or less copper (Cu); 0.01% or more and 0.5% or less nickel (Ni); 0.01% or more and 0.5% or less molybdenum (Mo); 0.001% or more and 0.15% or less vanadium; 0.001% or more and 0.030% or less niobium (Nb), and the balance being iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities. rolling the steel rail material subjected to the temperature adjustment into a rail shape at the adjusted temperature, and at an area reduction ratio of 20% or more by at least one second rolling mill (3AK+1...3AN, 3B); in the adjusting a temperature of the steel rail material, a surface portions of the steel rail material corresponding to a head portion and a foot portion of the rail shape are cooled so that the temperatures of the surface portions reach 500°C or more and 1,000°C or less by a cooling device arranged between the at least one first rolling mill (3A1...3AK) and the at least one second rolling mill (3AK+1...3AN, 3B); and after the rolling, heat-treating the rail by forcibly cooling at an average cooling rate of 1°C/s or more and 10°C/s or less from a surface temperature of 730°C or more until the surface temperature reaches 600°C or less, wherein the steel material has a composition comprising 0.60% or more and 1.05% or less carbon, 0.1% or more and 1.5% or less silicon (Si), 0.01% or more and 1.5% or less manganese (Mn), 0.035% or less phosphorus, 0.030% or less sulfur, 0.1% or more and 2.0% or less chromium (Cr), 0.5% or less antimony (Sb), optionally at least one of: 0.01% or more and 1.0% or less copper (Cu); 0.01% or more and 0.5% or less nickel (Ni); 0.01% or more and 0.5% or less molybdenum (Mo); 0.001% or more and 0.15% or less vanadium; 0.001% or more and 0.030% or less niobium (Nb), and the balance being iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities.
