The invention relates to a device for fastening trackside modules to a rail having a base and a head. The device includes two clamps that are clamped on the base of the rail with the use of a mechanism that extends under the base of the rail. At least one of the clamps is movable. A bracket is fastened to at least one of the clamps and a trackside module is fastened next to the head of the rail. A pair of brackets is fastened with the use of fasteners to surfaces of each of the clamps. The brackets extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rail and at least one upwardly extending section is fastened using second fasteners to at least one of the brackets outer side surfaces. At least one trackside module is fastened to an upper end region of at least one upwardly extending section.

Track and more particularly slabs (1) for a light railway track in which the slab comprises a convex end (2) and a concave end (3) which are generally concentric and reciprocal to each other such that in use the convex end of one slab and engage the concave end of another slab with the respective slabs at an angle to each other. The slabs are secured together to provided straight and curved sections with a modular slab shape and allowing other features for monitoring and/or improved operation.

A track rail fastening system includes a direct fixation fastener assembly having a direct fixation fastener, and a laterally elongated support block. Fastener holes for receiving fastener-clamping fasteners, and fastener holes for receiving bracket-clamping fasteners, are formed in the support block. The respective sets of fastener holes are arranged in different anchor patterns. Fastener-clamping fasteners are received in one of the sets of fastener holes and claim direct fixation fastener to the support block. Bracket-clamping fasteners clamp a third-rail support bracket to the support block, and are received in one of the sets of fastener holes. The third-rail support bracket is cantilevered to the support block.

The invention provides in one embodiment a cable management assembly for use with a railway rail, the cable management assembly comprising: a connector comprising a clip and a fastener for fastening the clip to an underside of a foot of the railway rail, and a tube comprising, along the length of the tube, a slit for insertion of a cable into the tube, wherein the clip comprises an opening through which the tube is insertable into the clip, and the tube and clip are configured to be moveable relative to each other between an open position, in which the slit and opening are aligned to allow the cable to be inserted into the tube, and a closed position, in which the slit and opening are out of alignment so that the cable is retained in the tube. Advantages associated with the embodiment include cost-effective, low maintenance cable management, with the assembly being easy to install.
