A rail assembly including one or more rail bodies formed for supporting rolling engagement of a train wheel thereover, the rolling engagement generating vibrations in the rail body. The rail assembly includes one or more boots formed for attachment to the rail body to substantially electrically isolate the rail body relative to ground material. The boot includes a chamber wall for at least partially defining a chamber between the rail body and the chamber wall when the boot is attached to the rail body. The rail assembly also includes one or more inserts positionable in the chamber, at least a part of the vibrations being transmittable to the insert when the insert is positioned in the chamber, for dissipation of at least a proportion of the part of the vibrations in the insert.

Rail (10, 30) for use at boom hinges (5) of a crane (1), extending longitudinally from one end (11) to an opposite end (12), comprising a rail head (13, 33) having a running surface (131) for a wheel of a railway vehicle, a rail foot (14, 18, 38) for fastening the rail, and a web (15) connecting the rail head to the rail foot and interposed between the rail head and the rail foot, wherein the rail head is continuous along the length of the rail. The rail comprises a resilient member (16, 36) extending across the web (15) from the one end (11) of the rail over a length shorter than the length of the rail in order to provide a resiliency of the rail head (13, 33) relative to the rail foot (18, 38) over a length of extension of the resilient member.
