A machine for detaching tie anchors from the rails of a railroad track comprises a self-propelled machine frame mounted on undercarriages for movement along the track in an operating direction, and two workheads mounted on the machine frame and positioned opposite each other in a direction extending transversely to the machine frame. Each workhead is associated with a respective rail for detaching the tie anchors therefrom and comprises a hammer arranged to press against a field-side tie anchor end, and drives for adjusting the hammer vertically and in a direction extending longitudinally with respect to the machine frame for pressing the hammer against the field-side tie end.
