Abstract
An automatic rail securing device (10) mounted on a railroad car (12) upon which a device (20) for manipulating the track is mounted, as well as work positions to permit the placement of insulators (40) on the railroad ties (34) as well as clips (5). A clip securing apparatus (66) is slidably mounted to car 12 by means of wheels (15, 17) and struts (23, 25). The apparatus (66) includes two satellite stations (70, 72) which include a pair of compression members (74, 76) which automatically engage the clip (5) and secure it in a final position adjacent to the rail (32).
