Rail Drilling

The rail drilling is measured from the end of the rail to the center line of the first hole (A), and from the center line of the firsthole to the center line of the second hole (B). If it is a 3 hole drilling the same method is used.

Joint Bars

The Joint Bars must be punched to match the rail drilling accurately to insure proper rail alignment. The punch is measuredfrom the center line of the first hole to the center line of the second hole (F) and from the center line of the second hole to thecenter line of the third hole (G).

Proper Usage of the Various Types of FrogsSpring-Rail Frogs

A. May be used in main track where traffic is predominantly on the main-track side of the frog.

B. May be used in yard tracks, but only when rigid frogs are not available.

Rail-bound Manganese Steel Frogs

Shall be used on heavy traffic lines where traffic is approximately equal on both sides of the frog.

Solid Manganese Steel Frogs

May be used as alternate to rail-bound manganese steel frogs.

Self-Guarded Frogs

A. Shall be used in yard tracks.

B. May be used in main tracks where speed does not exceed 30 mph.Note: Guard rails may be used with self-guarded frogs when conditions justify.

Bolted Rigid Frogs

May be used in yard and industry tracks where traffic is light on both sides of the frog, but only when self-guarded frogs are not available, or whendesirable to utilize available secondhand frogs.
