A tie plate for 115RE rail is a thick steel plate that sits between a 115RE rail and wooden or concrete ties to distribute the rail's load, prevent the rail from cutting into the tie, maintain the correct track gauge, and secure the rail with railroad spikes or bolts. These specific tie plates are designed to meet AREMA (American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association) standards for 115RE rail sections, often used in the US market.
115RE tie plates are commonly produced in China using casting, forging, and rolling methods, though casting was historically the most popular. In recent years, rolling has seen increased adoption, especially to meet demand from international clients.
AREMA Standards: Tie plates for 115RE rail are manufactured according to AREMA standards, which specify dimensions and design requirements.
Dimensions: Common tie plates for 115RE rail typically have a 5-1/2 inch wide base and come in various lengths, like 14 inches or 14-3/4 inches.
Shoulders: These plates are usually "double shoulder" to provide more support, though some smaller AREMA-standard plates can be "single shoulder".
Taper: The plates are often designed with inclined ends and are tapered where they sit on the sleepers to ensure stability.
