Rail signalling maintenance operations
Not much to go on here, I'm afraid. This is an inspection report on signalling maintenance work on rail tracks in a tunnel.
L'enquête menée par la Cellule en collaboration avec la SNCF a permis de déceler un défaut de serrage des bornes électriques des coffrets SVM qui, lors les vibrations provoquées par le passage des trains, provoquent des isolements de contacts et donc des décontrôles d'aiguille.
Lors de l'événement du 09/02/2015, les techniciens sont parvenus à simuler la panne et ont remplacé les bouchons de pontage (raccordements électriques) par mesure de précaution.
I can't find anything specific for bouchons de pontage other than the literal bridge plugs. Has anyone any idea what these might be?
Many thanks.

bridging plug/short circuit plug
There are two pieces of equipment that are called "bouchon de pontage" in French:
- a tool used for oil drilling, which is called in English "bridge plug"
- an electrical connector, called in English "bridging plug". The use of "bouchon de pontage" in this case seems to be favoured by ABB, who apparently use "short-circuit plug" in English (see ref. 1 and 2)
We are here clearly in the second case, hence my proposed translation.

: I think 'bridging plug' is a more appropriate term than 'shorting...' — it is possible for it to be 'briding' without necessarily 'shorting', though of course they do usually amount to the same thing.

jumper plug
This is another commonly-used term for a special plug, used to establish temporary (usually test) connections when some piece of equipment is not connected.
