Fish plate is of bone shape. It contacts with underside of rail head and top of foot. Never attaches with web of rail.

Actually guys option c is right. Because " the fish plate is in contact with rail at FISHING PLANE". This plane never represents the web of the section.

Only for flat-footed rail section web of the section & fishing plane is the same. But not always.

For bull-headed rail, the fish plate is not in contact with its web. So in common term fishing plane is the contact surface for rail end and not always web.

The answer is "D".

Contact of Fish Plate with Rail:.

The fish plate is in contact with the web of the rail. The web is the central part of the rail, which connects the head and the foot of the rail.

The fish plate is bolted to the ends of two rails, which are placed end-to-end. The fish plate is placed on the web of the rail, which is the central part of the rail. The web connects the head and the foot of the rail. The head is the upper part of the rail, which comes in contact with the train wheels. The foot is the lower part of the rail, which is embedded in the ballast. The fish plate provides continuity to the track and transfers the load from one rail to another through its contact with the web of the rail.

In conclusion, the fish plate is an important component of the railway track, which provides continuity to the track and connects two rails together. The fish plate is in contact with the web of the rail, which is the central part of the rail, connecting the head and the foot of the rail.

How its incorrect ?

We use the fish plates to join the two rails, so normally we use the web section of rail to join fish plate by bolts.

Here, the question is supposed to be "pick up the correct statement". Then it is correct option. Because other options are wrong.

Deepak Bandewar said:   9 years ago
Option C is the correct statement.

The section of the rails should be such that the ends of two adjacent rails can be efficiently joined with a pair of fish plates.
