Joint between a 60KG rail(left) and a 52KG rail(right) using a 'special' fishplate. The 60 KG rail has slightly more height. As a result, the sleepers below 60KG rail are buried a little deeper.

Dear Ashish,
Two points - One: A fantastic observation of a minute detail

Second: I wonder how you took a photograph of such an awkward angle?

very nice....shouldnt there be some sort of support at the bottom of the joint to reduce stress on it? maybe a piece of sleeper...it would reduce the noice the wheel makes when it rolls over a joint.
