ABSTRACT:
A railway level crossing (grade crossing) is described in which the road surface between the rails is, at least adjacent the rails, provided by flexible plates, e.g. rubber plates. The plates extend right to the rails and under their edge portions adjacent the rails are resilient support means which allow the plate to flex downwardly when engaged by the flange of a wheel passing on the rail. The resilient support may be a gas-filled tube extending parallel to the rail.
