ABSTRACT:
Rail track insert assembly for use between rails and adjacent road surfaces in a road level rail bed comprising resiliently flexible elongate members engaging, respectively, with the rail and the adjacent road surface and defining a generally vertical slip plane at their interface, to accommodate vertical movement of the rail in response to the passage of rail car wheels, while sealing against intrusion of surface water and detritus. An elongated channel defined in the under surface of each of the insert members accommodates rail clips securing the rail to the underlying track bed.
