A railway fastening, especially adapted for securing a bridge girder or cover plate of the girder to a cross-tie on a bridge, or like supporting structure, is in the form of a resilient clip having a substantially planar body portion with an opening for a bolt which is offset with respect to the resilient end engaging bridge girder. The resilient end in the form of a compression arch engages a girder flange to limit vertical movement and a tie-engaging end includes downwardly and outwardly extending ears for laterally restraining the cross-tie. A shoulder on the resilient end also engages a side of the girder flange to further limit lateral movement. In order to provide greater resilience, the arch can be in the form of two separate finger portions joined at the base with the body portion to form a U, each of the finger portions having a lip adapted to overlie the girder flange. A projecting lug adjacent to the opening for the bolt is provided to facilitate securing a bolt tensioning member, i.e., a nut. The clip thus serves as a large washer to firmly hold the cross-tie as well as the girder when the bolt is inserted through the opening and secured with the nut.
