To remove a tie plate from ballast near a railroad tie and place it on the tie in the proper location to hold a rail, the gripping head of a tie plate setter includes two parallel spaced-apart railroad spikes mounted to the shank portion of a handle by two parallel spaced-apart cross-braces which are welded at right angles to the two railroad spikes and the handle, with the handle having a lower gripping portion bent at a 45 DEG angle to the shank portion adapted to be held in the right or left hand and an upper gripping portion welded to and extending from the lower gripping portion where it joins the shank portion having a grip extending orthogonally thereto and adapted to be held in the other hand. To use the railroad tie plate setting tool, a worker inserts the two spikes of the gripping head into two apertures of the railroad tie plate, while the railroad tie plate is on the ballast near the tie and lifts the plate into the proper position on the tie by rotating the plate setting tool.
