Spikes


Dog spikes (also known as cut spikes or ice claws) are large nails with offset heads, used to fasten rails and baseplates to sleepers in tracks.

 

Screw spikes are large metal screws (approximately 6 inches or 152 mm in length, slightly less than 1 inch or 25 mm in diameter) used to secure baseplates or fix rails.

Rail Insulators


Rail insulators are employed to adjust gauge and isolate rails from sleepers and elastic clips.

Rail Pads


Rail pads, originally referred to as baseplates, are used to secure rails to concrete rather than to timber sleepers or ties. They function to reduce fatigue cracking in concrete sleepers, which is attributed to impacts and vibrations from passing trains. Rubber pads or grooved rubber pads, made of rubber, serve to dampen vibration shocks generated during train passage.
