Spring rail plate fasteners for direct railroad track fixation

A resilient rail seat for a railroad load carrying rail comprising:

• a spring plate secured to a foundation by anchor bolts and including turned over cantilevered end portions having vertical shoulder portions for retaining the rail against side slip;
• an elastomeric pad positioned between a base portion of the spring plate and the bottom of the rail, the pad formed with a plurality of spaced vertical air compartments for increasing the flexibility of the pad, the pad also formed with two side extensions for folding around the two base flanges of the rail;
• and two shoulder extension clips, secured to the cantilevered end portions of the spring plate for retaining the two extensions of the pad in contact with the rail flanges, and wherein a second railroad rail is mounted parallel to the load carrying rail and is supported in an extension of the elastomeric pad material which supports the load carrying rail, said second rail held in position by a spring clip on one side and by a shoulder extension clip on the other side;
• said elastomeric pad being made to support the parallel guard rail, and said elastomeric pad being molded with a plurality of vertically aligned compartments under the running rail open at one side of the pad with three integrally formed extensions disposed at right angles to the upper surface of the pad.
