Rail Spike

Rail spikes and nails were used between 1926 and 1930 on the tracks that connected the Fletcher Granite Company to the Stony Brook Railroad, a part of the Boston and Maine Railroad (now CSX Transportation). While the tracks still exist today, they are no longer in regular use. They cross at the intersection of Nabnasset Street and Brookside Road in Nabnasset.
