What Is A Fish Plate In Railway
A fishplate, also known as a splice bar or joint bar, is a metal plate bolted to the sides of two rail ends to join them together. The term "fishplate" is unrelated to aquatic fish; it is derived from the French word "fiche," meaning a peg or pin. Thus, a railway fishplate is used to fasten or join rail sections, ensuring a secure connection between them.
Fishplates typically have four or six holes for securing bolts. These bolts fasten the fishplate to the ends of the rail sections, creating a strong connection. The number of holes varies based on the required strength of the connection and the type of rail. More holes provide a stronger fastening, which enhances the stability and safety of the rail joint. Fishplates are crucial for connecting rail sections, ensuring smooth transitions, and improving the overall stability and safety of the track.
