Abstract

A universal slide-plate includes a body and a drop-in shoulder member with a plurality of retaining members that cooperate to selectively connect the universal slide-plate and a stock rail to a rail platform and/or tie. The universal slide-plate has a slide surface configured to support a moveable point rail thereon. The universal slide-plate may be selectively removed and repositioned relative to a rail platform and/or tie.

Abstract

A railway tie is disclosed having stackable decks for reducing ballast migration in areas where the crib is reduced or removed in order to accommodate additional railway equipment. The stackable railway tie can include a base deck, a top deck, and a fastening system for securing the top deck to the base deck. A second fastening system may be integrated in the railway tie for securing one or more rails to the top deck. The top deck can be configured to transmit a load, such as that from the weight of a train, to the base deck. A ballast displacement system can be provided to distribute a load on the base deck to ballast under the railway tie. One or more top decks may be used in connection with electrically insulating the rails. Nonconductive deck spacers and side posts may insulate the top deck from the bottom deck. Side posts may electrically insulate the base deck from the fastener system.
