Electrically insulating rail system

A rail system comprising:

• a. a grooved rail comprising:
• i. a rail head;
• ii. a railstem;
• iii. a rail foot;
• iv. a base profile made of an elastomeric material arranged underneath said rail foot;
• v. a plurality of rail tie bars;
• and
• vi. an encasing profile made of an elastomeric material for encasing said plurality of rail tie rods;
• b. a driving track, having a surface, and made of concrete or other construction materials, said driving track having an integrated joint in which said grooved rail is seated;
• c. a packing body having a density of >1.3 kg/dm3, made of an elastomeric material and arranged on both sides of said grooved rail, extending from said surface of said driving track to said rail foot, wherein once said packing body is adapted to a contour of said grooved rail, it completely fills a remaining space of said integrated joint;
• d. a fixture for securing said grooved rail;
• and
• e. an electrical insulation provided as a thin layer on both sides of said grooved rail extending from said surface of said driving track to said rail foot.
