A railroad fastener assembly is provided for securing a rail in place. The rail fastener assembly includes a base plate, at least two rail locator members, formed integrally with the base plate and located on opposite sides of the rail for locating the rail in position relative to the base plate, at least two clip holders formed integrally with the base plate; and a resilient clip associated with each clip holder for engaging the base flange of the rail to secure the rail in place. The resilient clips each comprise an elongate substantially planar member including a rail engaging, proximal end. The clip holders each include an aperture through which the associated clip extends and which defines a fulcrum for the clip. A pair of integral upwardly facing support surfaces of each clip holder is of height relative to the aperture so as to provide for capture of the distal end of the associated clip between the support surface and the aperture and thus provide deflection of the clip about the fulcrum so that the proximal end of the clip is biased into engagement with the rail. Shoulders formed on the support surfaces serve in approximately positioning the associated rail clip.
