Rail (10, 30) for use at boom hinges (5) of a crane (1), extending longitudinally from one end (11) to an opposite end (12), comprising a rail head (13, 33) having a running surface (131) for a wheel of a railway vehicle, a rail foot (14, 18, 38) for fastening the rail, and a web (15) connecting the rail head to the rail foot and interposed between the rail head and the rail foot, wherein the rail head is continuous along the length of the rail. The rail comprises a resilient member (16, 36) extending across the web (15) from the one end (11) of the rail over a length shorter than the length of the rail in order to provide a resiliency of the rail head (13, 33) relative to the rail foot (18, 38) over a length of extension of the resilient member.

A railway or tramway track with noise and vibration reduction elements arranged both inside and outside the track. Noise and vibration reduction elements contain at least one non-humic layer, which absorbs water, reduces its rate of flow and outflow and allows its evaporation, whereby their surfaces are composed of natural or artificial lawn or by some other suitable vegetation.

The present invention concerns a gabion (1) comprising: a cage (10) basically box-shaped, made up of a bottom (11), two frontal walls (12, 13) and two side walls (14, 15). That bottom, frontal and side walls are all formed from meshes respectively (11.1, 12.1, 13.1, 14.1, 15.1) that are fixed to each other; two compartmenting partitions (20, 30), that each connect the side walls to one other within the interior of the cage so that the internal volume (V10) of the cage is divided into: two frontal compartments (C1, C2) that are each filled with a filler material (70) made up of aggregate that cannot pass through the respective meshes of the bottom, the frontal or the side walls, nor through the compartmenting partitions in such a way that it is retained within those frontal compartments, and an intermediate compartment (C3), bounded by the compartmenting partitions and which is able to receive a granular acoustic insulation material (2); and at least one lifting partition (50, 60), that fixedly connects the frontal walls (12, 13) to each other within the cage extending through each of the frontal compartments and the intermediate compartment, which, opposite the bottom (11), is provided with at least one grab handle (51, 61), and which, for the part that is set out in the intermediate compartment, is suited to allowing the acoustic insulation material granules (2) to pass through it in such a way that the acoustic insulation material may spread freely, within the intermediate compartment, on either side of the lifting partition.

A device for heating of railway tracks is provided. The device comprises a magnetic field generator fed with a low-frequency current. The magnetic field generator is formed by a device without a circuit returning a magnetic flux generated by the magnetic field generator. Hereby the magnetic flux can be returned via a heater. The heater is a material generating heat when placed in the magnetic field. The heater can be the railway tracks or a plate provided in conjunction with the railway tracks.

Lateral fishplate (21) for isolating a railway rail, notably a buried rail, the upper face of which includes a protective strip (26).

A rail vehicle includes a rail vehicle frame, a pocket, a first beam, a second beam, an endplate, an actuator and a workhead carrier. The pocket is coupled to a frame portion of the rail vehicle frame. The first beam is disposed in a cavity defined by the pocket. The second beam is disposed proximal to the first beam. The end plate couples the first beam and the second beam. The actuator extends the first and second beams such that the end plate is displaced transversely with respect to the rail vehicle frame. The work head carrier is operable to translate along the first and second beams and couple the second beam to the frame portion.

A system for actively attenuating acoustic vibrations of a rail for rail traffic is provided including at least one sensor for detecting at least a vertical acoustic vibration of the rail, at least one actuator for exciting at least a vertical counter-vibration of the rail and at least one control unit communicatively connected to the at least one sensor and the at least one actuator for controlling the at least one actuator depending on the vibration detected by the sensor, the counter-vibration being adapted to destructively interfere with the detected vibration, and the at least one actuator being mechanically coupled to the rail and to a carrier element supporting the rail. Also provided is a carrier element for the system and a method for actively attenuating acoustic vibrations of a rail for rail traffic.
