Abstract: An apparatus for cribbing and anchor attachment on rails of a railroad track, including a frame movable along the track, at least one dual function workhead mounted to the frame that is moveable into and out of operational position relative to the track, an anchor applicator tool pivotably mounted to each workhead, and a cribber tool mounted to each workhead and adjacent the anchor applicator tool. Each anchor applicator tool and cribber tool is movable under operator control relative to the workhead from a retracted position to a work position.

Abstract: A singulator is provided for orienting, sorting and conveying at least one rail fastener, from a bulk supply of such fasteners, and includes a frame defining a lower end and an upper end. A plurality of transverse magnet bars is connected to an endless conveyor system disposed on the frame to move from the lower end to the upper end. A ramp is disposed on the frame, has an underside facing the magnet bars, and an opposite sorting surface opposite the underside and receiving the fasteners. At least one deflector assembly is associated with the ramp and is constructed and arranged for sorting fasteners drawn along the ramp by the magnet bars from the lower end to the upper end so that single fasteners are delivered at the upper end.
