Claim:
1. A method to form a rail joint, said method comprising the steps of: making staggerings corresponding to each other in joinable solid-profile rail ends of parts of a rail in such a manner that when a completed rail joint is seen from above the rail ends bond; securing both rail ends to corresponding mountings; bringing the rail ends secured to the mountings against each other, whereby said bonding is established; and securing the mountings opposite each other to each other, wherein the staggerings are made in such a manner that the lower edges of the rail ends are substantially left unstaggered, whereby the staggerings extend from these substantially unstaggered lower edges of the rail ends towards the top surfaces or the rail ends, and wherein the rail ends are welded by their lower edges at their full width to their mountings.
