E Type elastic clip
An E-type elastic rail clip is an E-shaped spring-steel railway fastener that applies elastic clamping force to secure the steel rail to the sleeper (tie). Used as part of a complete rail fastening system, it provides rail restraint, helps maintain track gauge and alignment, and accommodates vibration and dynamic loads from passing trains.
