A plate element for a fastening point, at which a rail for rail vehicles is fastened to a fixed base. The plate element has an opening leading from the upper side thereof associated with the rail to be fastened to the underside thereof associated with the base, through which a fastening element for fastening the plate element onto the base is guided during use, which engages with an anchor fitting countersunk into the base, and a fastening point at which a rail for a rail vehicle is fastened to a fixed base. The plate element enables the fastening of a rail onto a fixed base, ensuring optimum electrical insulation. This is achieved by a ring element made from a flexibly resilient material sitting in the region of the mouth of the opening associated with the base.

The disclosed solution generally relates to a hollow steel tie assembly for railway. The hollow steel tie assembly is generally configured to house switch machine components (e.g., switch rods). Further, the hollow steel tie assembly is configured with interface plates that enable the installation of varying configurations of rail fasteners. As such, the hollow steel tie assembly may be used for many types of rail, geometries, gauges, handedness, etc. Additionally, the hollow steel tie assembly is configured for use with existing as well as new switch machines. The hollow steel tie assembly comprises a shell configuration that provides ready access to internal components while maintaining support for top plates, rail fasteners, and attached rail. Further, the hollow steel tie assembly comprises electrically insulating layers in order to maintain electrical isolation between reciprocal rails.
