This report describes the test procedures and the results of the tests on the physical properties of rail, concrete ties, jointbars and fasteners. The properties obtained are the torsional rigidity of rail, bending rigidity of concrete ties, bending stiffness of jointbars and fasterner resistance to rotation about the vertical, lateral and longitudinal axis. The components tests were run on two rail sections, 115 RE and 136 RE, on five different concrete ties, on 136 RE rail joint bars, and on five fasteners configurations on the two different rails on wood ties and two configurations on the 115 RE rail on concrete ties.
