the services conditions and the like each of the rails r also includes an oblique or slanting planar upper surface 34 formed extending upwardly and inwardly from a side surface 35 of the foot or base portion 12 the oblique surface 30 also extends at a slanting or transverse angle with respect to the vertical axis of the rails r the slope and the angle of surface 34 and their extent in the rails r is also in accord with appropriate rail industry standards for the particular rails being used based on the services conditions and the like the leveling rail joint l according to the present invention is in the form of an elongate joint body 40 of sufficient length to span the adjoining end portions e of the rails r to be joined and provide requisite strength and support in the structure so formed the length of the joint body 40 and its extent along the adjoining end portions e with which it is mounted are determined by the intended service or usage nature of the rails r and load bearing considerations the joint body 40 is formed of suitable strength alloy steel depending upon the intended load and service usages of the rail structure s alloy steel bars are machined with flat planar surfaces to conform and engage corresponding planar surfaces of the rails r as will be described to form the joint body 40 the joint body is elongate in the context of being of adequate extent along the rail joint between the rails.
