ABSTRACT:
A rail securement clip is disclosed as having a base having an opening therethrough for receiving an anchor projecting from a foundation, a nose extending laterally of the base from the upper portion of the base and overlying the foot of the rail, and a pair of spaced apart fingers affixed to the nose and to an upper portion of the base. The through opening in the base has an orifice positioned in the space between the fingers. The base and fingers form a recess into which the anchor projects. Securement means may be fastened to the anchor and positioned within the recess to hold the apparatus against the rail and thereby secure the rail to the foundation. The nose may include a rubber pad means engaging the foot of the rail to provide an energy absorbing securement of the rail. The through opening in the base may have an open side facing in the direction of the lateral extension of the nose from the base so that the anchor projecting through the opening may be positioned adjacent to or in engagement with the foot of the rail.
