Rail anchors are applied to the rail base directly and lodge up against the tie. Rail anchors provide a large bearing surface against rail base and railroad tie, preventing cutting and wear, and eventually to prolong the working life of the railroad ties. Anchors are made for a specific rail weight and base width, which can be classified into two types: the Drive-on rail anchors and Spring type rail anchor.

Why Rail Tracks Need to Use Rail Anchor
Line Crawling--Because of the train operation when the longitudinal effect, which makes the rail longitudinal mobile even drive the sleeper, this phenomenon is called the line crawling.
Dangers of Line Crawling--Rail gap uneven and sleeper skew can cause great damage to the track, endangering traffic safety.
Measure of Prevent Climbing-- Install rail anchor.
