I believe that the purpose of "rail anchors", is to eliminate longitudinal movement of rail. Welded rail can go from one temperature extreme to the other just fine, as long as it only expands/contracts, in "cross-section", not length. Where you have variable weather, (everywhere except Hawaii), there should pairs of rail anchors at every tie. These are the little "J" shaped castings that clip to the base of the rail on both sides of the tie. <br />Todd C.
