Rail supports are essential components used in railway systems to hold and stabilize the tracks. They ensure that the rails remain aligned and secure, allowing trains to travel safely and smoothly. These supports can be made from various materials, including steel, concrete, and wood, depending on the specific requirements of the railway. There are different types of rail supports, such as rail ties and track fasteners. Rail ties, also known as sleepers, are placed perpendicular to the rails and distribute the weight of the trains. Track fasteners secure the rails to the ties, preventing movement and maintaining the integrity of the railway infrastructure.
