A rubber pad intended to be arranged between a sleeper of a track and a rail of the track is described. The pad has a flat portion with a width substantially the same as a width of the sleeper; the flat portion comprises a plurality of holes.

A resilient railway rail fastening clip (3) has successive first to seventh portions (31 to 37), where in a non-operative configuration, the first and seventh portions (31, 37) form leg portions lying in a first plane (P), the second and sixth portions extend substantially away from and above the first plane (P), at least parts of the third and fifth portions (33, 35) extend towards and above the first plane (P) with their longitudinal axes lying substantially in a second plane (R) that intersects the first plane (P) at a first acute angle , and the fourth portion (34) extends substantially in or below the first plane (P) with its longitudinal axis lying substantially in a third plane (Q) that intersects the first plane (P) at a second acute angle , where 0<<.

A bonded, direct fixation fastener as a supportive structure for a rail on a railroad bed comprising a top member or plate having a center portion having an upper face and a lower face; the top plate defining first and second wall sections each defining an outer perimeter having an outer face defining a lower face section and an upper face section; wherein a first angle between the lower face section and a horizontal surface of the railroad bed is lower than a second angle between the upper face section and the horizontal surface of the railroad bed; a bottom plate or member having first and second anchoring sides connected by first and second elements; wherein the bottom plate or member defines an opening; wherein the bottom plate has first and second wall members each having an interior face; and an elastomeric or rubber portion disposed between the top plate and the bottom plate.

The disclosed solution generally relates to a rail fastening assembly used to fasten a rail to a railway tie (or sleeper). The disclosed solution comprises a rail fastening assembly, a kit, and a method. The rail fastening assembly comprises a shoulder assembly, a guide plate, and a tension clamp. The guide plate is configured with a plurality of guide plate support segments. The tension clamp is configured with a shoulder engagement segment that is configured to engage with the shoulder assembly. The shoulder assembly is configured with a shoulder post that is configured to engage with the railway tie. The tension clamp may be positioned at the plurality of guide plate support segments in order to engage with the shoulder assembly in various positions before, during, and after installation.

A track rail fastening system includes a rail cushion positionable laterally between a first fastener assembly and a second fastener assembly. The rail cushion includes a first full-length pad and a second full-length pad, and a pin field formed by a plurality of deformable pins. The first full-length pad and the second full-length pad define a first rail cushioning plane. The deformable pins in the pin field define a second rail cushioning plane. The cushion is deformable between a rest configuration where the cushioning planes are spaced, and a loaded configuration where the cushioning planes are co-planar. Primary, lower load deformable pins are configured to deflect such that under sufficient load both the primary, lower load deformable pins, and secondary, higher load pins engage an underlying substrate.
