A resilient rail connection on railway ties or the like with guiding plates located laterally of and adjacent to the rail. Each of the guiding plates along a section perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the rail has a first end portion of an upwardly opening angular shape and an oppositely located second end portion for cooperation with a spring element. In fully assembled condition of the rail connection, the angular first end portion of each guiding plate rests in a correspondingly shaped recess arranged in the rail supporting under-structure such as a railway tie while being located remote from the rail, whereas the second end portion of each guiding plate is adjacent the foot portion of the rail and is under preload engaged by the spring element which resiliently rests on the same under-structure as the first end portion and urges the second end portion of the guiding plate upwardly. The guiding plates are respectively provided with oblong passages through which respectively extend adjustable connecting bolts firmly holding the guiding plates connected to the understructure.
