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.

The disclosed solution generally relates to a hollow steel tie assembly for railway. The hollow steel tie assembly is generally configured to house switch machine components (e.g., switch rods). Further, the hollow steel tie assembly is configured with interface plates that enable the installation of varying configurations of rail fasteners. As such, the hollow steel tie assembly may be used for many types of rail, geometries, gauges, handedness, etc. Additionally, the hollow steel tie assembly is configured for use with existing as well as new switch machines. The hollow steel tie assembly comprises a shell configuration that provides ready access to internal components while maintaining support for top plates, rail fasteners, and attached rail. Further, the hollow steel tie assembly comprises electrically insulating layers in order to maintain electrical isolation between reciprocal rails.
