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 first
hole 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 measured
from 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 the
center line of the third hole (G).

Proper Usage of the Various Types of Frogs

Spring-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 when
desirable to utilize available secondhand frogs.
