Swedish term

Skyddsräl

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
I've come across the word 'Skyddsräl' on at least one previous occasion, but it was a very long time ago and I have failed to find the cross reference. This example,

Befästningssystem till betongsliprar för skyddsräl

is taken from a chapter in a manual with details about Under Sleeper Pads, their installation and placement.
Grateful for any assistance.

Thank you Matt.
agree jeffrey engberg : FYI: Skyddsräl is "Derailment prevention rail". Guardrail is used for roadside guardrails, i.e. Räcke-. This is an important point because tenders and contracts specify distinctions.
