Abstract

See full text

A miter rail system for spanning a railroad track joint includes a fixed rail and a lift rail formed from thick web rail stock. The joining ends of the fixed and lift rails are notched to interfit with each other along a predetermined longitudinal extent along the notches so that at least gage sides of the associated fixed and lift rails are in alignment with each other to provide a generally smooth and uninterrupted surface for rolling stock wheels. Preferentially, the inward facing edge of the notch is substantially entirely coextensive with a side of the thick web as a result of milling out, once the ends of the rails adapted to face each other have been bent.
