Rail Anchor; stops the juice rails walking... (They're not usually clipped)

Thanks.
How does that work then? The anchor did not seem to be fixed other than to the rail itself.

It's bonded / bolted into the sleeper.

You have a steel bar in the sleeper, bolt onto that a bar with an insulator in it, that then bolts onto / is welded to the conrail.
