A rail pad can have a major face forming a railseat portion on which a foot of a railway rail sits when the pad is in use, the railseat portion having opposite side edges to at least part of each of which a respective upstanding portion of the pad can be connected, wherein the pad does not have any part which extends laterally from the railseat portion in a same plane as the railseat portion. The respective upstanding portion can be connected to a projection of the rail pad which extends laterally from the respective upstanding portion such that the projection can be vertically spaced from, and does not overhang, the railseat portion, the projection spaced from ends of the respective upstanding portion such that the projection can be configured to interlock with a corresponding opening in a front part of one of the railway rail clip anchoring devices.

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 modular fastening for track crossings includes a lower plate and a shoulder bonded by means of adhesive to each end The lower plate includes a central segment running between the shoulders on a face above the face for anchoring to the support surface. The fastening includes two plate assemblies, which can be mounted on the lower plate by means of two rail spikes going through the plate assembly and allowing the fixing of a rail. Each plate assembly includes an intermediate plate, the lower face containing a recess for the fitting thereof on the central segment of the lower plate, and the upper face containing a circular projection configured for fitting in a circular recess located on a lower face of an upper plate on which a rail can be supported, such that said upper plate can be oriented with respect to said intermediate plate.

A tension spring for holding down a track body element, such as a rail foot of a rail, including a U-shaped main section which has a U-bend, a first leg arranged on one side of the U-bend and a second leg arranged on the other side of the U-bend, wherein a hook-shaped inwardly bent holding section which can be braced against a hold-down device is formed on the first leg and an end section bent towards or away from the holding section is formed on the second leg, wherein the U-bend forms a torsion section so that a hold-down force can be applied to the track body element via the bent end section.
