Fishplate / Joint Bar

Fishplate / Joint Bar

The consequence of any failure involving the fishplates can be unimaginable. A rail joint that vibrates out of position can lead to a railroad switch open with only bad consequences.

Cracks within rail joints and rail sides, missing bolts, corrosion, weldings and electric bondings. These are the key elements that need to be inspected to guarantee safety.
