Rail fastening system

A rail fastening system for fastening a rail (2) to a rail substrate, comprising:

• a rail support plate (1) arranged for holding the rail (2), wherein the rail (2) is in contact with the rail support plate and is fastened thereto by a rail mount (la, lb, lc);
• and
• a base plate (3) arranged for fastening the rail support plate (1) on the rail substrate, wherein the rail support plate (1) is fastened on the base plate (3) by one or more retaining elements (6) and the base plate (3) is in contact with the rail substrate,
• wherein the base plate (3) is of multi-part construction in the form of at least two separate pieces having adjacent facing ends each configured with alternating projections and recesses arranged along the longitudinal axis of the rail and thereby adjustable to different dimensions of the rail support plate (1),
• wherein the rail mount comprises
• a rail holding section (la) formed in the rail support plate (1) which overlaps a base of the rail (2) on one side and
• a rail tightening clamp (lb) which overlaps the base of the rail (2) on an opposite side.
