Railroad frog by structure type can be divided into fixed frog and activities frog, according to plane forms can be divided into two categories, straight line frog and curve frog.

Straight - line fixed frog can be divided into rail combined frog and cast frog. Rail combined frog is cut by the plane assembled with rail and other parts, consisting of long rail, rail and wing rail, short interval iron, frog pad and other parts. The utility model has the advantages of easy material extraction, no special technical requirement, convenient manufacture and processing, but a large number of spare parts and large maintenance workload, has been rarely used. The whole cast crossing frog for casting of high manganese steel, after heat treatment, under impact load, will soon have hardened, so that the surface has good abrasion resistance. At the same time, because of point rail and wing rail casting at the same time, the integrity and stability is good.
