A magnetic railroad clip is able to stay engaged to the rails of a railroad track as a train passes over the rails. The magnetic railroad clip includes a base plate, a first brace, a second brace, and at least one magnet. The base plate is used to brace the underside of a rail of a railroad track. The first brace and the second brace allow the magnetic railroad clip to be pressed against the sides of the rail. The second brace further allows a heating device such as, but not limited to, a hot switch induction head to be mounted to the rail. The at least one magnet provides a magnetic fulcrum effect that prevents the first brace from dropping below the underside of the rail. Thus, the magnetic railroad clip can stay engaged and/or pull tighter to the railroad track rail as a train passes over the rail.
