Abstract: The invention relates to a rail arrangement for a rail superstucture such as a fixed railroad, comprising an elastic intermediate plate (3) which is located between the rail foot and a hard support (6) in the form of a concrete tie and has two through holes for the screws (7) to fasten the rails. For series mounting, which is the solution of choice, the elastic intermediate plate (3) is combined with an elastic intermediate layer (1) in such a way that the additional intermediate layer rests above the intermediate plate directly below the rail foot, whereby the intermediate layer (1) is separated from the intermediate plate (3) by a metal base plate (2) which serves to fasten the rail.

Abstract: A rubber mixture is particularly based on natural rubber (NR), epoxidized natural rubber (E-NR), isoprene rubber (IR), butadiene rubber (BR), acrylate rubber (ACM), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), or blends of these types of rubber, particularly NR/SBR- blends or NR-BR- blends, as well as the usual mixing ingredients such as fillers, plasticizers, anti-aging media, as well as additional additives, if needed. This mixture produces a plate-like, elastic intermediate layer with low dynamic stiffening; high dynamic stressability; high specific volume resistivity; and low frequency-dependence of the dynamic stiffening. The intermediate layer is arranged particularly between the base of the rail and the top side of the tie in connection with high-speed rail tracks. The underside of the intermediate layer is provided with at least one recess, with formation of an edge extending all around, and facing the top side of the tie.
