Eastern Railroad Discussion > Railroad Tie Length Nails

Hey all,

I was out today looking for some date nails, and came across what appears to be tie length nails. They are about 1 1/2" long. I found one that had 12 with a 6 under it, and another that had just a 9(or 6, but I would think 9 because it was where a switch used to be). Anybody know what time frame that they used these in the past? I have several date nails from the early 30's and these look a bit more worn than those.
