Rail System and a Travel Board for the Rail System

Abstract

The invention relates to a rail system ( 1 ) having two rail sections ( 12, 13 ) arranged parallel to each other. Each rail section ( 12, 13 ) has a rail ( 2, 3 ) which has expanded lateral edges ( 8, 9; 10, 11 ). According to the invention, a person can travel on said rail system ( 1 ) with a travel board ( 90 ) produced for said purpose. The travel board ( 90 ) has at least one wheel suspension device for each of the rail sections ( 12, 13 ).
