Abstract
Prior to renewing a damaged tie of a track, a fastening element (35) is inserted into an anchoring hole (49) in both portions of the base plate (39), disposed respectively adjacent to the rail base (52), and has a contact nose (51) for abutment against the rail base (52). Subsequently, the fastening element (35) is welded to the base plate (39) so that the base plate remain in its correct disposition with respect to the rail (23) during the tie renewal.
