ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for removing elastic rail fasteners of the kind that are applied transversely of the rail. The apparatus removes two fasteners simultaneously from a rail seat. The apparatus comprises a carrier frame (10) having a pair of opposed abutment plates (14 and 15) which move arcuately parallel to the rail (12). Associated with each plate (14 or 15) is an extraction lever (26a and 26b) which moves arcuately transverse to the rail. The abutment plates align the apparatus with the fastener (40), compress the arms (44) of the fastener (40) and the extraction levers (26a and 26b) pull the fasteners (40) from the rail seat.
