Railway Fastener Steel Anchor

Rail anchors or called rail anticreepers are spring steel clips that attach to the underside of rail tie plates and bear against the sides of rail sleepers. The function of rail anchors is to prevent longitudinal movement of the steel rails, either from changes in temperature or through vibration.

Key Terminology Explained:

  • Track Creep: The longitudinal movement of the rail under the forces of accelerating and braking trains.
  • Rail Section/Profile: The cross-sectional shape and dimensions of the rail (e.g., 115 RE denotes a rail that weighs 115 pounds per yard). The anchor must be perfectly matched to this profile.
  • Double Shoulder (Type A): The most common design, which grips the rail base by applying pressure on both the field and gauge sides.
  • Drive-On: The installation method where the anchor is placed on the rail base and hammered into position until it sits firmly against the sleeper.
  • AREMA: The authoritative industry body in North America that sets design and maintenance standards for railways.
  • Hot-Dip Galvanized: A zinc coating process that provides superior corrosion protection for harsh environments.
