An e-clip installation machine for securing rails to steel ties via automating and reducing the time required for installing e-clips that attach rails to steel ties is provided. The e-clip installation machine automates the process of securing rails to steel ties via inserting e-clips into a respective shoulder clip on either side of the two rails. A pair of hydraulic jaws clamp the steel tie and bring it up against the underside of the rails. Two e-clips for each rail are placed in position at the respective shoulder clips. Two pairs of hydraulic clamp mechanisms, corresponding to each rail, press the respective e-clips through openings within the respective shoulder clips. The e-clip installation assembly includes a jaw assembly and two clamp assemblies. Each clamp assembly includes a pair of clamp mechanisms, positionable on either side of a rail in proximity to a shoulder clip affixed to a steel tie. A clamp mechanism is utilized to compress an e-clip within an opening of the shoulder clip.

An adjustable device for railway to cross active faults is provided to fix a rail and a sleeper, including: a fastener mounting base, disposed between the rail and sleeper; clamping pipes, disposed between the fastener mounting base and the sleeper, the sleeper is provided with a through groove, and the clamping pipes are detachably fixed inside the through groove; control parts, disposed on an inner wall of the clamping pipes, each of the control parts is configured to detect lateral pressures between the fastener mounting base and corresponding one of the clamping pipes, thereby to separate the corresponding one of the clamping pipes from the through groove, the device ensures that the rail will not produce bending deformations after the lateral dislocation of the bottom layer during earthquake events, and ensure that a train or rail repair vehicle can pass at a low speed after earthquake.

A holddown assembly fastens a railway rail to a transversely extending hollow sleeper formed with a vertically throughgoing hole. An upwardly projecting lateral brace element is provided on the sleeper offset from the hole, and the assembly has a body fitted between the rail and the brace element and transversely bracing the rail against the brace element. An anchor of the assembly is engaged through the hole, projects upward from the sleeper, is transversely shiftable in the hole, and bears upward on the sleeper. A spring clip is pressed by the anchor down against the rail and presses the rail down against the metal sleeper.

An assembled section of a train rail track structure comprises an electrically isolating cross tie comprising a c-face down open channel defining at least one of a plurality of holes, tabs and notches in a flange at a top thereof and in a plurality of sides thereof proximal to each end of the open channel cross tie. The assembled section also includes an angle plate configured with a horizontal portion and a vertical component to cover an end portion of the c-face down open channel and directly fasten thereto via at least one of a plurality of holes, tabs and notches complementary thereto. The assembled track further includes a first section of electrically isolating cross ties comprising a first warning color closest a rail crossing and a second section of cross ties immediately beyond the first section comprising a second warning color and coordinated flashing and strobing lights attached thereto.

A train rail track structure system includes a c-face down steel channel cross tie defining a plurality of holes in a top wider web surface thereof and a protrusion with perpendicular faces extending from an underside of the top surface, the holes configured to pass a fixative and solidifying mixture into a ballast bed there beneath. The protrusion anchors the steel channel cross tie in the fixative and solidifying mixture and the ballast bed. The disclosed system also includes a c-face down steel channel connecting link defining a receptacle for at least one intermediate rail support member in a top wider web surface thereof. The link also defines tabs and notches proximal to both longitudinal ends of the steel channel connecting link configured to interleave with at least one steel channel cross tie and interlock the steel channel connecting link to the steel channel cross tie.
