Abstract: A baseplate for a railway fastening assembly supporting a railway rail on a railroad tie includes a first surface on a first side of the baseplate, a second surface on a second side of the baseplate opposite the first side, a first rib extending longitudinally along a first lengthwise edge of the baseplate and from the second surface, the first rib protruding substantially perpendicularly to the second surface such that the first rib extends at least partially over and abuts a first side face of the railroad tie; and a second rib extending longitudinally along a second lengthwise edge of the baseplate opposite the first lengthwise edge and from the second surface, the second rib protruding substantially perpendicularly to the second surface. The second rib extends at least partially over and abuts a second side face of the railroad tie that is opposite the first side face.

Abstract: An anchoring device for use in retaining a railway rail fastening clip having first and second leg portions and a rail-bearing portion therebetween. The anchoring device includes a base member, an opening in the base member configured to receive a fastening component for fastening the anchoring device to an underlying foundation, and first and second clip-retaining sides extending from said base member with the first clip-retaining side being spaced apart from the second clip-retaining side so as to define a space therebetween for receiving the rail-bearing portion of the clip. Each clip-retaining side comprising upper and lower clip contact walls defining a passageway for receiving one of the leg portions, wherein the leg portions contact the clip contact walls of the respective clip-retaining sides as the clip moves from a wedged position towards an engaged position where the rail-bearing portion of the clip bears on the rail.
