International Railroad Discussion > Tie plates and rail bracesDate: 03/06/15 22:19 Tie plates and rail braces Author: Railpax71 These are on the Jomo electric railway in Kiryu, Gunma, Japan which runs along the foothills of Akagiyama to Maebashi. The equipment is light electric DMUs so no tie plates and the rail braces are wooden. There is a prototype for everything.
