ABSTRACT:
The rail anchor system includes two pins and two clips. Each pin extends through a horizontal transverse bore in a cross-tie. The pins have extensions at each end exposed on both sides of the cross-tie and the bores are parallel to and substantially within the outer edges of the bottom flange of the rail which sits on the cross-tie. Two resilient clips form a part of the system. Each clip has a looped section, a hooked extension extending from one end of the looped section and a lever extension extending from the other end of the loop section. A clip is used on each side of the tie with the loop sections engaging the pin extensions of opposite pins and the lever extensions being locked by opposite pins when the respective hooks are in engagement with the cross-tie.
