(2) When anchors are used, each tie that is anchored will have four anchors applied (box anchored),

per tie as shown in figure 6-22.

(3) Either type of anchor, spring or drive-on (shown in figure 6-23), may be used. Drive-on anchors

have the advantage of being easier to apply and remove manually, and do not require a special anchor

wrench, as do spring anchors. It is possible, though, to over-drive a drive-on anchor, causing it to lose its

ability to tightly grip the rail base.
