ABSTRACT:
A point rail for switching gear comprises a head (10) with a running surface (.SIGMA.), a web (20) with a mid plane (.pi.) and a base (30). The running surface (.SIGMA.) is inclined relative to this mid plane (.pi.). The base (30) has two unequal wings (300), the larger of which is situated on the side towards which the running surface (.SIGMA.) is inclined. The center of gravity (G) is situated out of the mid plane (.pi.) and placed on the side with the larger wing (300). The point rail has application to switching gears for long welded rail tracks on which very-high-speed trains run.
