In most cases, when a new Railway Fastening System is built, the anchors for the track are made of concrete as opposed to the wood that they were traditionally made from. In order to secure the track to the concrete anchors, the track must be anchored into the concrete through the use of a mounting bracket that holds the track’s rail in place. Before the rail can be applied to the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket has to be anchored to the concrete. This is done through the use of a special Track Bolt . Due to the amount of weight that any rail system’s track must carry at any given time, the anchoring system has to be as strong as possible to prevent any possibility of shifting. As a result, most mounting brackets, as well as the track bolts, are made out of hardened steel. The steel is treated to prevent it from becomi...
