About this file

This document appears to be an appendix titled "Track-Components-Section Illustrations" that provides details on various components and specifications related to railroad tracks. It includes information on rail sections, joint bars, fasteners, tie plates, rail clips, bumping posts, wheel stops, rerailers, and track accessories. The document provides dimensions, weights, and part numbers for these track components across different rail sizes and weights. While this information would be relevant for the federal contract opportunity, the document itself does not contain details on the specific contract requirements, response dates, set-asides, or other key details. It serves as a reference guide for the types of track-related products and services that may be needed to support the trolley track repair work outlined in the federal contract opportunity.

Timber Drive Spikes

Available to fit all sizes of standard track bolts. Regularly stocked in medium weight and heavy-duty patterns.

Dome Head These four-notched, smooth-surfaced dome heads reduce installation and maintenance costs, and assure increased life of timbers. Costly counterboring, water trap and filling counterbored holes are eliminated with the use of these dome heads for grade crossings, motor car set-offs, timber guard rail on bridges and other timber fastening.

The large-diameter head seals out moisture, and with the extra-large bearing surface, the spike remains tight and does not cut into wood under vibration. Easily and quickly installed, they can be furnished in black or hot-dipped galvanized.

Washer Head These efficient fasteners reduce installation and maintenance costs. Used for timber construction, highway crossing planks and panels, bridge and trestle guard rails, motor car set-off, docks, etc.

Washer head is single forged, eliminating corrosion that occurs between head and washer. Excellent holding power of threads provides tight installation.

Spikes are easily installed, driven with maul or pneumatic spike driver. They turn as driven into prebored holes, causing no damage to wood fibres.

They cannot be overdriven and are easily removed with hand or power tool for reuse.

Tie Plates

The use of single or double shoulder tie plates makes a more stable track and greatly lengthens the life of wood ties.

Punched and sheared from hot-rolled steel sections, tie plates provide proper cant, uniform bearing surface for the rail and better load distribution to the ties.They hold the rail to gauge, providing more uniform wear to rail head and protect against undue wear to ties.

Tie plates are designed with a long end or field end to be located outside of the rails. In the case of single shoulder tie plates, the shoulder is placed on the field end of the plate. The gauge end or short end of the plate is located inside of the rails. When ordering, identification of the rail section or the width of the rail base should be specified. Quality relaying tie plates are also available from our stocks which offer appreciable savings on railroad trackage and industrial sidings.

Compromise Joint Bars Designed to join rail sections of different sizes while keeping gage and running surfaces in alignment. Compromise joints consist if two bars - an “outside joint bar” and a “gage side joint bar”. Generally speaking, unless the difference between the rail head width is less than 3/16”, right and left-hand joints are required. Unless otherwise specified:

1) bolt holes are alternately round and oval,

2) bolts are not provided, and

3) rail joint opening is 1/8”.

Switch Point Protectors The reversible manganese steel switch point protector increases the life of your switch point. When bolted to the inside of the straight main rail, the protector momentarily deflects the wheel flange so it misses the tip of the switch point. It is furnished complete with steel face plate, shim, track bolts, nuts and spring washers.

To order, specify rail size and section.

Rerailers

Model DW The DW rerailer has a long, low-profile, two-sided design, ideal for a wide variety of equipment.

With the DW, it is possible to engage derailed wheels farther from the rails than with most other designs, and wheels can be retracked from either one side or both sides. Placed with the exclusive “tie cleats” firmly against the first open tie ahead of the derailed wheels, the dual action locking wedge is driven into the front of the rerailers.

The wedge prevents both sliding and tipping.

The only tool required for installation is a hammer.

Blocking may be necessary.
