Rail Fish Plate

What is rail fish plate?

Rail fish plate, also know as rail joint bar, connects two ends of the railway tracks for fastening the railway track. It can both fasten the light rail and heavy rail.We have supplied the AREMA standard rail joint, such 115RE rail joint and 132RE rail fish plate for our customers across the world.

Rail fish plates connects the ends of two rails to fasten them together. The top and bottom edges are tapered inwards so the device wedges itself between the top and bottom of the rail when it is bolted into place. In rail transport modelling, a fishplate is often a carbon steel plate that slips onto both rails to provide the functions of maintaining alignment and electrical continuity.
