Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media for railwayfastener removal are disclosed. A railway fastener extractor may be alignedwith a railwayfastener installed in a railway tie. The railway fastener extractor may becoupled with aframe assembly and a cylinder and slide assembly of a railway workhead so thatthe railwayfastener extractor is suspended from the cylinder and slide assembly. Therailway fastenerextractor may be operated to extend opposing claws of the railway fastenerextractor toward arailway fastener, and may be operated to selectively apply force to a linkagesystem to gripthe railway fastener, the force being directed along a longitudinal axis. Theforce may bebifurcated and corresponding forces may be applied to move linkages and movethe opposingclaws to grip the railway fastener, and the railway fastener extractor may beoperated toextract the railway fastener.
