Track fittings and fastenings
Track fittings and fastenings
 To hold the rails in their proper position
 For joining rails together as well as fixing them to the sleepers
Types of track fittings
Fish plates
The name ‘fish plate’ derives from the fish-shaped section of this fitting.
The function of a fish plate is to hold two rails together in both the horizontal
and vertical planes.
Fish plates are manufactured using a special type of steel
Fish plates are designed to have roughly the same strength as the rail section

Fittings for Wooden Sleepers
- for fixing rails to wooden sleepers
 The fastening is named because
the head of this spike looks like the ear of a
dog.
 Round spikes are used along with anticreep
bearing plates for fixing rails to sleepers.
 Fang bolts are employed under the switches
for fastening slide chairs to the sleepers.
These are used in locations where the gauge
is to be preserved.

Pandrol clip or Elastic rail clip
Pandrol clip or Elastic rail clip (contd)
 It is a ‘fit and forget’ type of fastening that requires very little attention towards its
maintenance.
 The clip is made of a silico–manganese spring steel bar with a diameter of 20.6
mm and is heat treated.
 It exerts a toe load of 710 kg for a nominal deflection of 11.4 mm.
 The toe load is quite adequate to ensure that no relative movement is possible
between the rail and the sleeper.
 Pandrol clips can be driven with the help of an ordinary 4-pound hammer and
require no special tools.
 The Pandrol or elastic clip can be fixed on wooden, steel, cast iron, and concrete
sleepers with the help of a base plate and some other ancillary fittings.
 Pandrol clips are the most widely used clips with concrete sleepers on Indian
Railways
Pandrol clip or Elastic rail clip (contd)
Drawbacks of Pandrol clip
1. Their use makes the adjustment of the gauge impossible.
2. The Pandrol clip has a point contact and this causes indentation on
the foot of the rail due to a heavy toe load and a small contact area.
3. It does not provide enough safeguard from theft or sabotage because
it can easily be taken out using an ordinary hammer.
