ABSTRACT:
A rail for a track for a wheeled vehicle is generally elongated and has a substantially "I" transverse cross section providing an upper rail head and a lower rail foot joined by a web. The rail head is provided with at least one and preferably two laterally spaced apart longitudinally extending apertures, which are adapted to receive alignment pins so that when the rails are coupled to each other substantially end on end, the pins extend between abutting ends of the rails to maintain the rails in an abutting and substantially aligned relationship. A track is also provided including spaced apart rails with a plurality of spacers extending between the spaced apart rails to maintain the rails in a predetermined spaced apart relationship. The spacers can be pivotally mounted on the rails, so that the rails are able to move and pivot relative to each other such as for the adjustment of gauge, packaging, and transport. The track can be used with rails which are substantially parallel to one another or with rails which are of a generally arcuate or curved configuration relative to each other.
