As a former railroad trackman, I have to say that for a railroad spike, that’s looking extraordinarily new. A five gallon bucket of them (new) weighs 200 pounds by the way. And they were all rusted, worse than that picture. I lost 20 pounds and six inches off my waist that first summer. I couldn’t even start a spike when on my first day. On my last day of that summer, I could pound one in nice and tight in three hits. Which has more to do with learning on HOW to hit it, than how hard you can hit it.
