摘要： The tie plates, normally, made of steel, have a wrap-around device that gives additional support. The wrap-around device goes around or partially the tie and takes various forms as such. It may be a U-shaped bracket with the top section welded to the tie plate. The vertical legs extend beyond the bottom of the tie and have a bolt between the bottoms of the legs. The brackets may be further secured to the tie by lag screws. The tie plate would still have conventional spikes. In another embodiment, it may be shaped as a metal box that is attached to the tie plate by welding with bolts or lag screws in the sides of the box. The design of these devices transfers weight vertically as well as sideways from the wheels. If the ties are made of concrete, the box design allows the concrete to flow therethrough.
