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.

An e-clip installation machine for securing rails to steel ties via automating and reducing the time required for installing e-clips that attach rails to steel ties is provided. The e-clip installation machine automates the process of securing rails to steel ties via inserting e-clips into a respective shoulder clip on either side of the two rails. A pair of hydraulic jaws clamp the steel tie and bring it up against the underside of the rails. Two e-clips for each rail are placed in position at the respective shoulder clips. Two pairs of hydraulic clamp mechanisms, corresponding to each rail, press the respective e-clips through openings within the respective shoulder clips. The e-clip installation assembly includes a jaw assembly and two clamp assemblies. Each clamp assembly includes a pair of clamp mechanisms, positionable on either side of a rail in proximity to a shoulder clip affixed to a steel tie. A clamp mechanism is utilized to compress an e-clip within an opening of the shoulder clip.

A rail system (1) has a rail (20), a support device (10) for the rail (20), and a clamping device (40) for fixedly clamping the rail (20) in the support device (10). The clamping device (40) fixedly clamps the rail (20) in the support device (10) only in an operating situation. In the operating situation, a holding device (30) is arranged between the clamping device (40) and the rail (20) and releasably clamps the rail (20) in an installation situation in a predetermined position in the support device (10).

A profiled bearing for a rail and a rail system are disclosed. The profiled bearing has a profiled base with a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall, and a base which connects a first end of the first lateral wall to a first end of the second lateral wall, and the profiled bearing also has a profiled clamping section. The base and the lateral walls form a receiving pocket for receiving the rail. In a functional position, the profiled clamping section is clamped in a gap between the rail inserted into a bearing bed of the base and the second lateral wall. A clamping finger which extends in the direction of the second lateral wall is molded in the region of a second end of the first lateral wall, the end being arranged at a distance from the base, wherein the rail can be pressed into the bearing bed by means of the clamping finger, and the profiled clamping section has a base web with two clamping limbs which extend from one face of the base web and which can be pressed into the gap between the rail inserted into the bearing bed and the second lateral wall. The clamping limbs of the profiled clamping section extend in the direction of the bearing bed in the functional position in which the clamping limbs are inserted into the gap, and a first clamping limb lies against the rail at least in some regions and a part of a second clamping limb is pressed into an undercut formed on the second lateral wall.
