Product Description

Railroad Dog Spike And Its History

Dog spikes,also called rail cut track spike, was invented by American inventor and steamship builder--Colonel Robert Livingston Stevens. The first use of dog spikes was in 1832. The main function of railroad spike is to ensure the correct position of the gauge. The common sizes are usually between 9-10/16 inch and 5.5-6 inch long. With a flat edged point and chisel-shaped, the spike can give greater resistance to loosening. During the transportation of railway, it is not necessary to require the spike to provide a strong vertical force, which provide a nice environment than can allow the rail track freedom of movement.

Dog spike or rail spike, also known as a cut spike or crampon, is a large nail with an offset head that is used to secure rails and base plates to railroad ties (sleepers) in the track.  

Function of Rail Dog Spike
Dog spikes play a crucial role in the railway industry as they help to maintain track stability and prevent derailments. They are designed to withstand the pressure and impact of heavy trains, extreme weather conditions, and environmental factors. Dog spikes which used to secure rails to sleepers, are a vital component in the railway industry. They maintain track stability. They are also known as railroad spikes, rail spikes, or coach screws and come in different types, sizes, and materials. Dog spikes have been in use for over a century and remain a popular choice for railway engineers and contractors due to their durability, strength, and ease of installation.

How to differentiate Dog Spike and Screw Spike?

The dog spike, usually with an offset head that is used to secure rails and base plates to railroad ties. Dog spike is a type of railroad spike that is driven into the wooden tie with a sledge hammer or spike maul.
Screw spikes can provide more than twice the fixing power of dog spikes. Because of the greater power, and the feature that can be combined with spring washers, the cost of manufacturing screw spikes is higher than dog spikes or dog nails.
