Rail system

A rail arrangement (1) consisting of

• a rail (2) comprising a rail head (3) a rail bridge (4) and a rail foot (5), whereby the rail is provided with joint ties (6);
• a driving track (8) made of concrete, with an integrated joint in which the rail is seated in connection with a substrate (10);
• as well as
• Profiles made of elastomeric material specifically consisting of
• a base profile (12), which is arranged below the rail foot (5) and provided on both sides with flanges completely or partially gripping around the rail foot, whereby, furthermore, the base profile has a plurality of channels (13, 14) extending in the longitudinal direction of the rail, said channels mostly being arranged in a plane (X) extending parallel with the underside (5′) of the foot of the rail;
• two side profiles (16, 17) abutting the rail on both sides, one of said side profiles being located on the side of a wheel rim, and whereby when a bullheaded rail is used, said one side profile (17) located on the side of the wheel rim preferably has a tracking groove (18);
• as well as
• a joint tie coating (19);
• characterized in that
• the channels (13, 14) of the base profile (12) have a rhombic cross-sectional shape, whereby the channels (13) in two edge areas of the base profile have a smaller cross-sectional shape than the channels (14) located in a center area of said base profile, causing the rigidity of the base profile to increase outwardly;
• and that
• the base profile (12), the two side profiles (16, 17) and the joint tie coating (19) consist of an electrically insulating elastomeric material;
• and
• the channels (13, 14) of the base profile (12) are exclusively arranged in a zone below the underside (5′) of the foot of the rail, whereas there are none of said channels in the area of the base profile located outside of the rail foot (5), where the base profile changes into the flanges (15).
