Rail fish plate, also called rail joint, is used to connect two steel rails together. Many people question why it is called fish plate, actually, it has no relation with fish dishes. The word 'fish' in fish plate derived from the French word 'fiche', which means a peg, 'fiche' is derived from the old French word 'fichier', it has the meaning fasten, therefore fish plate means a plate that can be used to fastening.
Compromise joint bars are one kinds of special rail joint bar. As we know, normal rail joint bars are the components involved in railway applications that connect different sections of rails together while maintaining gauge and keeping the alignment of rail surfaces. Unlike normal rail joint bar, compromise joint bars are used for joints of abnormal rails.
Compromise joint bars are designed to consist of two separate bars- an outside joint bar and an inside joint bar. These bars are designed to smoothly match the gauge-head face of two rails. These special joint bars are usually sold in sets, consisting of four different bars.
