| rail end batter | смятие в виде седловины в рельсовом стыке (depression in the rail tread at a rail joint i.e. result of the impact that occurs as wheels pass over the joint - loose joints experience excessive batter due to the increased impact) |
| secondary rail end batter | смятие вторичное в виде седловины в рельсовом стыке (occurs not directly at the rail end in a rail joint but generally on high speed track where wheels are "launched" over a joint and land on the receiving rail, a discrete distance from the rail end) |
