摘要

A railway rail fastening clip (3), for fastening a railway rail (1) to an underlying rail foundation (2), is formed of an elongate plate shaped such that a central region (31) of the plate has in profile the form of a letter C, a first end region of the plate extending from one side of the central portion (31) of the plate to form a base portion (32) of the clip (3) for engaging a rail fastening anchoring device (4) secured to the rail foundation (2) and a second end region of the plate extending from the opposite side of the central region (31) of the plate to form a toe portion (33) of the clip (3) for bearing on the railway rail (1). The toe portion (33) of the clip (3) is provided with insulator retaining means (34) for retaining thereon a toe insulator (5) for electrically insulating the clip (3) from the rail (1).
