All About Railroad Track Anchors - Sometimes they are Called Anti-Creepers

We show you the different types of rail anchors, anchor wrenches, how to put rail anchors on and take them off, why they are used, anchor pattern, and a bit of history of rail anchors.

Forgot to say in the video, but the first spring type of rail anchor is called a unit wrench on.

Also some have called the unit channel and the improved fair anchors as J anchors, but they are not marketed as having that name.

For another video where you can watch how to install drive on anchors along
with a better discussion of how anchors actually work to mitigate rail creep:
