Rail Clip Applicator Tool
A railroad tie maintenance machine is provided that installs or removes rail clips relative to a plurality of anchor sockets and rails. The machine includes a chassis and a workhead mounted thereto, with a tool configured to either install or remove the rail clips mounted to the workhead. The installation tool includes a curved upper wall configured to engage with the upper side of a rail clip, as well as a side wall configured to engage with a side of the rail clip, such that longitudinal movement of the rail clip is achieved even if the rail clip does not conform to standard sizes or shapes. Various tools can be selected and installed relative to the workhead depending on a number of characteristics associated with the project, including the type of clip, the type of anchor, the type of tie, and any other relevant factors.
