Abstract:
The railroad track wire connection is configured for electrically connecting a first element of a railroad installation to a second element of the railroad installation, the first element and the second element being electrically conductive, at least one of the first element and the second element being a rail of a line of rails of a railroad track of the railroad installation. The railroad track wire connection comprises at least one first element wire having a proximal end for connection to the first element and a distal end, a first element connector provided at the distal end of each first element wire, the first element connector being configured for electrical connection with the second element directly or via a mating second element connector, wherein the first element connector comprises a magnetic element for generating a magnetic force with the second element for fixing the first element connector to the second element in a removable manner or with a magnetic element of the second element connector for fixing the first element connector to the second element connector in a removable manner.
