The present invention relates to a test shunt clamp device for testing railroad tracks by creating either a hard-wired effect or an impedance. The device has at least two clamps that can be attached to a rail track of a railroad track. Once attached, a toggle switch can be placed in the “HW” or “0.06” position such that the switchable choice between hard-wire and a resistor (that the first and second wires are connected to) delivers a hard-wired effect or a 0.06 ohm impedance to each rail track via a first pointed member of the first clamp attached to the first wire and a second pointed member of the second clamp attached to the second wire.
