10 different Union Pacific Railroad foot nails AKA switch
nails
Date Nails were placed in RR ties to indicate the date of
placement. Foot Nails were placed in RR ties to indicate the length of the tie.
The UP RR used these foot nails to indicate the length of railroad ties used
near switches where the ties were longer than the usual 8 foot 6 inches. This
set comes from ties ranging from 8.6 feet to 13 feet long.
This set has 3 different variations of the 9.6 feet nails that the UP used
Some of the nails have herringbone shanks. Some heads rough.
