ABSTRACT:
A device for deterring the overturning of railroad rails comprised of a generally C-shaped boltless clip for restraining the upward movement of a rail base flange. The clip is disposed within an existing spike hole in a conventional railroad tie plate with its upper arm positioned in partially overlapping, spaced relation to the rail base flange and its lower arm, which is formed into a catch, in anchored engagement beneath the tie plate and wedged into the tie supporting the rail. In the presence of rail overturn forces, the clip couples the rail base flange to the tie plate.
