A track spike (1) with a single or double shaft for wooden ties with spring loop (6), shaft (5) and crosspiece (4). The crosspiece (4), is, in its upper area via a bend (9) of the corresponding shaft portion in the direction of the rail foot (8), offset with resilience relative to the shaft (5). The crosspiece thus engages and retains the rail in position on the tie.

An arcuate or circular profile element of generally V-shaped cross-section has a curved bottom wall, arcuate sidewalls having free edges, and laterally projecting flanges projecting from the free edges. By choosing specific relationships between the thickness of the different parts of the element, lighter-weight elements can be used to withstand the same loads as before, or elements having the same weight as before can be used to support heavier loads.
