摘要:
Railroad tie plates secured collectively by spikeless fasteners to a tie with railroad spikes securing the rails to the ties and related methodology are disclosed wherein two-part fasteners are used in respect to sets of aligned tie and tie plate apertures such that the two fastener parts are joined together against inadvertent separation within each tie aperture at a connection or union site, which includes but is not limited to force fit unions and threaded unions, and spikes are driven into the ties through other tie plate apertures. Discarded ties rehabilitated as composite railroad ties are also disclosed.
摘要:
Rail mounting assembly of the type in which a top plate is secured to a frame by an elastomer body surrounding the top plate and bonded to both the top plate and the frame. The rounded ends of the top plate and frame receive the elastomer in gaps between downwardly and inwardly inclined surfaces while the elastomer between the longitudinal flanks of the frame and top plate has downwardly open voids which are narrower toward the end of the top plate and wider at a midpoint.
