Embossing
The rail mark is located in the web of the rail and is imprinted with a steel stamp in the hot steel (in a distance of 0,50 m – 1,50 m from the end of the rail). The melting number, the pattern in the block and the number in the block are included in the stamp. The rail mark is important for compensation claims.
