Fishplate: History, Electrical bonding & In rail switches

A fishplate, splice bar or joint bar is a metal or composites connecting plate used to bolt the ends of two rails into a continuous track. The name is derived from fish, a wooden "fillet" used to repair or reinforce a ship's mast, or to help round out its desired profile. The top and bottom faces taper inwards along their short dimensions to create an…
