ABSTRACT:
A rail fastener includes an anchor member fixed atop a crosstie and removably retaining a spring clip having a pair of spaced apart arms insertable within the anchor member. The spring clip, generally "C" shaped, has one of its arms deflected transversely and downwardly by a tapered retainer element on said anchor member whereby a positive downward force is applied by the other arm against a rail base flange. An abutment provided on the anchor member restricts vertical displacement of the other arm and rail base therebeneath.
