Abstract: The process consists in increasing the height of the rail to the detriment of the thickness of the web (16) and of the flange (18). Firstly, the thickness of the upper part of the web (16) below the head (14) is reduced by machining and, next, the rest of the web (16) and the flange (18) of the rail (10) are heated up and deformed by forging. This process avoids hardness modifications of the running surface of the rail.
Abstract: A method for making monobloc points for a transporation rail is disclosed. The points include a profiled body having a groove for housing a point rail. The method includes selecting a steel bloom having dimensions at least equal to the outer dimensions of the body and machining the steel bloom to define the profiled body.
Abstract: The fastening comprises a fastening shoe having, overall, an "L"-shaped cross-section, one of the branches of which is bolted with vertical elasticity to a sole-plate secured to a railway sleeper and the other branch of which is bolted with lateral elasticity to the web of the rail on the side opposite the movable point.
