ABSTRACT:
A railroad e-clip removal system for efficiently and safely removing railroad e-clips from a railroad track. The railroad e-clip removal system includes an outer tube with an outer cutout, an inner tube slidably positioned within a lumen of the outer tube, an inner cutout within the inner tube having an engaging portion, and an actuator unit attached to the tubes for extending/retracting the inner tube within the outer tube. The engaging portion of the inert tube engages a portion of an e-clip when the actuator unit is extended thereby forcing the e-clip from a tubular support member attached to a rail pad. The e-clip is thereby safely and efficiently removed from the railroad track.
