Rail shoulder is semi-embedded into the sleeper to fasten the clip of the base plate. Rail shoulder also protects the clip from being stolen. Rail shoulder mainly has two types: rail cast iron shoulder and weld-on shoulder. Both two kinds of rail shoulders can be used for the fixation of elastic rail clips.
