Good evening once again,
in response to Michael's mail, I'll send some more info. The source I was citing
is 'Modern Railway Track' by Coenraad Esveld, second edition. The book is regarded
as academic handbook on railway engineering and was written by a cooperation of Dutch,
German, British, Austrian, Belgian, French, Japanese, Korean and UIC engineers. I think
that, despite the absence of Russian and American engineers, it covers the global view on
railway engineering very nicely.
Regarding the specific tastes of expansion systems we can consider:
• fishplated joints in non-continuous track
• joints and expansion devices
• bridge transition structures
Additional there are two more joints without

Hello,
Translation of railway terms is difficult, as wording differs almost
completely between British English and American English. Furthermore, I
made the experience, that European standard documents (EN, UIC leaflets,
EU legislation, ...) are a bad source, as they often use unusual language.
I found "adjustment switch" for British English (Iain Ellis: Ellis'
British Railway Engineering Encyclopaedia; Railway Group Standard
GC/RC5603 Standard Definitions of Civil Engineering Terms) and
"expansion joint" for American English (TCRP Report 155: Track Design
Handbook for Light Rail Transit). But thats the only American source
I've found.
In British English, expansion joint denotes a normal rail joint with an
expansion gap between rails (same sources as above).
I guess, you have to choose some tag in the end...
