tie plate or baseplate Explanation: De acordo com a Wikipedia: A tie plate (US) or baseplate (UK) in railroading is a steel plate used between flanged T rail and the crossties. The tie plate increases bearing area and holds the rail to correct gauge. They are fastened to wooden ties by means of spikes or bolts through holes in the plate.
