Rail

A rail, in particular a grooved rail (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12), comprising an upper part (112) and a single-part lower part (114, 124, 130, 132, 138, 144), which consist of different materials and are connected to each other metallurgically, whereby the upper part comprises a head and consists of wear-resistant material and the lower part preferably consists of structural steel and possesses a web (140, 146, 150),

• wherein the upper part (112) is the head and possesses a cuboid shape, that the lower side of the head is connected to the lower part (114, 124, 130, 132, 138, 144) in at least a metallurgical manner, and that the lower part of the rail (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12) is embodied as a profiled element (114, 124, 130, 132, 138, 144) in the form of an I-profile with a base section (122, 136, 148) that extends transversely relative to the web, and that the upper part (112) possesses on its lower side a cut-out forming a step with a vertically or substantially vertically extending section (128), to which the profiled element (124, 150) connected in a one-sided form-fitting manner, whereby the profiled element (124, 150) is in contact in a form fitting manner with the vertically extending section (128), through which a centrifugal force generated by a vehicle passing the rail can be transferred into the profiled element.
