Bull Headed Rail
Bull headed rails are rail sections in which the head dimensions are more than that of their foot. In this type of rail, the head is made thicker and stronger by adding more metal to withstand wear and wheel loads.
Bull headed rails are most commonly used in the United Kingdom. They have a head and foot nearly equal in cross-section and are supported in cast iron chairs, secured by wedges or keys.
