A rail fastening device 10 has a clip 16 and a body 20 with an elongate aperture 18 extending obliquely forwards and a washer 17 that is slidable along the planar upper surface of the aperture 20u. When the device is tightened to a support (12 fig.1) and a track (11 fig.1), possibly using a nut and bolt (14, 15 fig.1), the washer 17 is free to abut an upstanding formation 24 on the rear of the clip 16 at point A. Continued tightening of the nut 15 causes the washer 17 to pivot forwardly across the planar surface, so as to bring the bolt 14 into contact with a front surface (18F fig.5) of the clip aperture 18 so that displacement forces applied to the clip 16 by the rail is applied directly to the bolt 14 and not to the washer 17.
