:Rail Type Standard Material
Function: to hold the two ends of the rail in place and act as a bridge or girder between the rail ends and prevent lateral or vertical movement of the rail ends and permit the longitudinal movement of the rails for expanding or contracting. Failure to do so will result in an inadequately supported joint and will promote rail defects such as head and web separations and bolt hole breaks.
