A bonded, direct fixation fastener as supportive structure for a rail on a railroad bed comprising: a substantially rectangular rail plate, wherein the rail plate has a generally horizontal center portion having a lower face and an upper face and wherein the rail plate defines an outer perimeter having a face defining a first angle to the railroad bed, the rail plate having attachment means to attach to the rail; a substantially rectangular bottom member defines an inner perimeter having a face defining a second angle to the railroad bed; and a substantially rectangular elastomeric portion disposed between, and bonded to each of, the outer perimeter and face of the rail plate and the inner perimeter and face of the bottom member.

An attachment device for provisionally or temporarily connecting a tie plate to a rail includes a U-shaped fixing clamp inserted slightly into a bore of the tie plate. A force-locking connection between the tie plate and the fixing clamp is established with the aid of a clamping bolt. A stop nose automatically also effects a connection between the tie plate and the rail. A simplified tie renewal can be performed as a result of the provisional or temporary connection. A method for producing an attachment device constructed as a fixing clamp is also provided.

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.
