Rail fastening systems are used to secure rails to sleepers. Their function is to maintain track gauge and prevent vertical and horizontal movement of the rails relative to the sleeper position. Fastening systems typically consist of baseplates, spikes, elastic clips, anchor rods, or other fastening components.
