Insulating joint for electrically insulating a pair of adjacent rail sections and railway track comprising such insulating joint

A railway track comprising:

• at least a pair of adjacent rail sections, each rail section extending along a longitudinal axis and defining at least one connecting surface substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a plurality of lateral surfaces extending along the longitudinal axis;
• an insulating joint for electrically insulating the adjacent rail sections;
• wherein the insulating joint comprises a joint body having substantially the same cross section as the rail sections and defining two contacting surfaces, each contacting surface being intended to be in contact with the connecting surface of one of the rail sections, and wherein the insulating joint further comprises attaching portions configured to be extended along the longitudinal axis for reinforcing the fixation of the insulting joint to at least one of the rail sections;
• wherein the joint body is made from an insulating material comprising a reinforcing structure made of metal or carbon fibers, the reinforcing structure being placed inside of the joint body with a distance from the contacting surfaces.
