FAQ
Q: What is a Rail Shoulder?
A: A rail shoulder (or rail pad shoulder) is a structural component that supports the base of the rail, providing:
Lateral stability (preventing rail shift)
Vertical load distribution (reducing trackbed wear)
Vibration damping (noise reduction)
Q: Where is the Rail Shoulder Located?
A: It sits between the rail base and tie plate (or directly on concrete sleepers), acting as a buffer to: Absorb dynamic train loads,Reduce fastener fatigue,Prevent rail seat abrasion
Q: What is the Key Design Features
A: Tapered edges – Prevents stress concentration
Anti-creep lugs – Resists longitudinal rail movement
Compression grooves – Enhances elasticity under load
