The invention relates to an arrangement for holding down a rail (14) having a rail foot (20), such as a stock rail, comprising a base (18), such as a slide chair plate, tongue roller plate or wheel guide plate, a plate element (16), such as a slide chair or counter bearing, detachably arranged on the base, a spring element (10) holding the plate element on the base, and a first and a second abutment for tensioning the spring element. To enable the rail to be held down with structurally simple measures and at the same time to achieve ease of maintenance and servicing, it is provided that the first abutment is a section (78) of the plate element (16) or extends therefrom, running in the region remote from the rail foot, in that the second abutment is an eccentric element (12) which preferably extends in the longitudinal direction of the rail (14) and is arranged rotatably in a receptacle (46) arranged between the rail foot (20) and the first abutment and starting from the base (18), and in that the spring element is designed to be supported on the rail foot (20).

A modular fastening for track crossings includes a lower plate and a shoulder bonded by means of adhesive to each end The lower plate includes a central segment running between the shoulders on a face above the face for anchoring to the support surface. The fastening includes two plate assemblies, which can be mounted on the lower plate by means of two rail spikes going through the plate assembly and allowing the fixing of a rail. Each plate assembly includes an intermediate plate, the lower face containing a recess for the fitting thereof on the central segment of the lower plate, and the upper face containing a circular projection configured for fitting in a circular recess located on a lower face of an upper plate on which a rail can be supported, such that said upper plate can be oriented with respect to said intermediate plate.

A gauge spacing apparatus for positioning pot sleepers with respect to existing sleepers of a railway track has a pair of turnout rails, which are separated from one another by a desired gauge distance. The gauge spacing apparatus includes a first guide member aligned with and secured with respect to a portion of the existing rail; and a second guide member angled with respect to the first guide member at a turnout angle. The second guide member is aligned with a portion of a turnout rail to allow the turnout rail to be provided with supporting pot sleepers, such that the desired gauge between the turnout rails is maintained. Also provided are a rectangular gauge spacing apparatus, a shear plate arrangement for providing supported engagement between first and second sections of rail, and a support framework for supporting a planar supporting member spanning over an existing rail.
