Miscellaneous Items
Black BeltTM, Mark II & Mark III Insulation Kits
Includes high-density polyethylene insulation material, Black Belt fastening device, nylon epoxy or 3M Scotchply® end post and filament-wound steel core bushings.
Poly-PlateTM Tire Plate
Reduces impact and batter at the rail ends, prevents tie cutting and provides proper cant and support for all insulated rail joints.
Fair® Rail Anchors
Fair® rail anchors are a unique design made from special T-shaped steel, forged and heat treated for uniform strength. A drive-on type, available for almost any rail size, provides full rail base contact, eliminates tie chewing and climbing, distributes creeping loads evenly and has the largest tie bearing area.


Curv-Bloc® Rail Fasteners
Curv-Bloc® rail fastener is a low-cost, field-proven solution preventing low rail rollover in curves experiencing low speed, heavy loads and double stacked car traffic. Curv-Bloc® is designed to withstand high lateral loads yet preserve the floating rail system and is equally effective in preventing high rail rollover in higher speed applications.
