The aim of the invention is to provide an insulated rail joint which can withstand high loads of railway traffic better than the insulated rail joints of the prior art. The invention also relates to a method for producing said type of insulated rail joint. Said aim is achieved in that the an intermediate area is formed in the insulated rail such that on each end of the rails (2, 3), respectively an intermediate piece (6, 7) which is adapted to the respective rail contour is cast by means of a known casting method and both intermediate pieces (6, 7) are separated by an insulating and in particular shaped intermediate layer (insulating layer) (8) adapted also to the respective rail contour, preferably made from a composite material. Both intermediate pieces (6, 7) engage with each other in an overlapping manner and respectively comprise at least one recess for receiving at least one closure and/or bracing element (10). |
