Gleisabschnitt für eine Schiene sowie Verfahren zu Erhöhung der elastischen Lagerung

The invention relates to a track section comprising a tie (24) and a frog (10) having a foot section which is supported on at least one element arranged between the foot section and the tie, wherein, with the frog unloaded, the surface of the support and the running surface of the frog are at a distance x. In order to reduce the loads in the transition region between the wing rail (12, 14) and the tip (16) of the frog and thus largely to avoid or to reduce surface damage, it is proposed that the element is an elastic element (30) having a spring characteristic and extends regionally in at least one cutout (28) in the tie and/or in the foot section and has a thickness and elasticity such that, with the frog unloaded, the distance x is unchanged.
