Railway Fastening Rail Shoulder System

Railway Fastening Rail Shoulder System

Steel rail, also called rail track, steel track,is the main component of railway track. Its function is to guide the wheels of the locomotive, bear the great pressure of the wheel, and keep the stability of railway transportation. The rail must provide continuous, smooth and minimum rolling surfaces for the wheels. In electrified railway or automatic block section, rail can also be used as an orbital circuit.
