Rail creep does a lot of damage to the track. The size of gaps in railway tracks is distributed evenly. Due to creep of rails, gap between railway track at one end gradually deforms until it disappears and even expands the rail. The gap between railway track at the other end are stretched, causing fishplate bolts to be pulled or broken. This causes the sleeper to rotate to form the deviation, causes the track to sink and not smooth, produces the low joint and so on disease.
The principal role of a railroad anchor is to prevent the railroad track from "creeping", which means the gradual longitudinal displacement resulting from stress imbalance, temperature change, etc. The rail anchors not only clamp on the rails but also against the sleeper so that it can provide sufficient friction and resistance to keep the track from sliding forward when trains pass by. It also helps in eliminating cuts and wear of wooden ties.
