Abstract: Disclosed is a rail fastening device adapted to fasten a rail. The device includes leaf springs each being bent at its intermediate portion and provided at its base portion with a screw spike hole and at the rail pressing end thereof with an elongated hole. A tie plate is laid between a rail and a sleeper. The tie plate has a central rail mounting surface and screw spike holes formed at both sides of the rail mounting surface. The screw spike holes formed in the base of the leaf spring and in the tie plate at each side of the rail are adapted to receive a screw spike having a flange having a diameter smaller than the width of the elongated slot.
