Railroad tie plate, also called base plate or sole plate, is a kind of steel plate used between the rails and sleepers on rail tracks. Railroad plate is usually tapered on the sleepers by rail bolts or rail spikes through the holes in the plate. Generally tie plate is usually tapered at each end of rails to ensure the stability and hold the rail to correct gauge.
