A spike setting tool with an improved ram-rod structure may feature a pronged fork at a distal end to hold spikes in place while the user actuates a ram-rod to set the spikes. A magnet may also be provided to aid in the picking up of spikes for setting in the fork.

A rail fastening device comprises a clip (10) having a base (11) and a nose (12) for engaging a rail flange (F). The base (11) comprises circular aperture (14) in which a circular cam (13) is rotatably mounted, the cam (13) being provided with an eccentric aperture (24) for receiving a ground anchor (25), the cam aperture (24) being radially offset from the rotational centre of the cam (13) to define a cam lobe (15). The cam (13) may comprise a ramped circumferential shoulder (18) to engage a complementary shoulder (21) inside the base aperture (14) such that any rotation of the cam (13) under the applied load of the rail causes the cam (13) to move axially of the base aperture (14) thereby tightening the engagement of the anchor (25) on the cam (13) and preventing movement of the clip (10). The degree of rotation of the cam (13) may be limited so that it can only turn in the tightening direction under load.

A rail splice plate kit comprising first and third rap holes that align with first and third rail holes on a first rail to be spliced, second and fourth rsp holes that align with second and fourth rail holes on a second rail to be spliced, and the first, second, third, and fourth rsp holes are substantially circular. The rail splice plate kit comprises four rail bolts which have a cross section that is within 1/16 of an inch of a diameter of the first, second, third, and fourth rsp holes. The diameter of the first, second, third, and fourth rsp holes may be no more than 3/64 larger than the cross section of the rail bolts. The rail splice plate and the bolts are formed of steel. Adjacent rsp holes are spaced 5 inches from center from one another and a cross section of the rail splice plate is arcuate.

Systems, methods, and machine-readable media to facilitate installation and adjustment of railway components are disclosed. Aligning of a railway anchor manipulator and a railway fastener installer with respect to a railway tie may be caused. The railway anchor manipulator may be slidably coupled with a frame assembly of a railway workhead, and may include anchor tools. The railway fastener installer may be slidably coupled with the main shaft structure, may include a hammer assembly, and may be operable to install railway fasteners through holes of a railway tie plate. The railway fastener installer may be caused to install the railway fasteners. The railway anchor manipulator may be lowered to a deployed position, and railway anchors may be adjusted with the anchor tools.

A rail joint bar includes a body having a first end, a second end positioned opposite from the first end, a first side, a second side positioned opposite from the first side, a top portion positioned between the first and second sides, and a bottom portion positioned between the first and second sides and positioned opposite from the top portion. The body having a first section adjacent to the first end of the body, a second section adjacent to the second end of the body, and an intermediate section positioned between the first section and the second section. The second side of the body includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion spaced from the first protrusion, with a width of the first protrusion at the intermediate section of the body larger than a width of the first protrusion at the first and second sections of the body.

A screwing machine tightens or releases rail fixing screws. The screwing machine contains a machine frame which can be rolled on a track, handles for moving the screwing machine, a motor for applying a torque to a screw head, and a device for transmitting a torque. A measuring device is provided opposite the machine frame in order to detect a reaction torque of the motor. The motor is actuated in order to limit the torque depending on the reaction torque. The reaction torque is used as a reference variable. The reaction torque is applied to the machine frame by the motor and is ascertainable with a high degree of precision by a simple measuring device. In this manner, a simple and robust design and a precise rotational speed limiting function are implemented.

This method for manufacturing a railway track support comprising a plurality of prefabricated elements (28) comprises the following successive steps: providing, in a production zone (16) for prefabricated elements (28) located near an installation zone (14), a movable insertion machine (52) configured to arrange at least one insert (34) in a fresh concrete block, the production zone being separate from the installation zone; pouring and shaping fresh concrete in order to form individual fresh concrete blocks having predetermined dimensions; arranging at least one insert in each fresh concrete block using the movable insertion machine (52); drying the fresh concrete blocks to obtain the prefabricated elements (28).

A rail fastening device (100) comprises a lower plate (11) and an upper plate (12) provided with a pair of clips (13) for engaging the rail 16, the upper plate (12) being fastened to the lower plate (11) by a pair of fastening bolts (19) which extend through respective apertures (20) in the upper plate (12), the fastening bolts (19) being slidably mounted to the lower plate (11) for movement in a direction which, in use, extends transverse the rail (16). A jacking bolt (31) is arranged to lift the upper plate away from the lower plate as the bolt (31) is tightened and vice-versa. An alignment bolt extends 33 laterally between the upper and lower plates (11), (12) and is rotatable to displace the upper plate (12) laterally relative to the lower plate (11). A levelling bolt (102) threadably engaged with the lower plate is arranged to lift the lower plate (11) away from the surface on which the device (100) is seated as the bolt (102) is tightened and vice-versa.

The invention relates in particular to a guided transport track section intended to be fixed to a ballastless track formation (15), characterised in that said section comprises: a track panel (20) comprising two stringers (21, 22) and at least one structure transverse to the stringers (23, 24), each stringer (21, 22) comprising an upper longitudinal groove (25) for receiving a rail; a plurality of panel supports (31, 32, 33, 34), each support comprising at least one stud (35) for fastening to the track formation, a cradle (37) for supporting a stringer (22) that is mounted so as to be movable vertically in said stud (35), and means for vertical movement of said cradle (37) relative to said stud (35) so that the height of the panel (20) relative to said track formation (15) can be adjusted, and the superelevation of the track section thus formed can be defined by means of coordinated adjustment of the various cradles (37).
