Abstract (en)

An assembly for mounting tuned absorbers on a railway rail, in which the tuned absorbers each comprise a member (51) of elastomeric material containing at least one active mass (52), of material denser than said elastomeric material, the tuned absorbers (51) being arranged on each side of the web of the rail such that the head of the rail contacts the tuned absorbers (51), comprises a pair of brackets (53) arranged for applying a lateral clamping force to respective ones of the tuned absorbers (51), whereby the rail is suspended above a rail foundation.
