ABSTRACT:
A toggle tie plate rail fastening system is described for securing rails to wood cross-ties. A wear plate is secured to the upper surface of each of the cross-ties adjacent each end thereof. Each of the wear plates has a plurality of tubular toggles secured thereto which extend downwardly therefrom and which are received by openings formed in the cross-tie. A tie plate is positioned on each of the wear plates and has a rail supported thereon held thereto by a pair of hold-down plates. Bolt members extend downwardly through the hold-down plates and the tie plates and are received by the toggle members. Tightening of the bolts causes the toggles to compress and to move into gripping engagement with the cross-tie.
