I walk the tracks to work sometimes. ecib and I both walk these tracks, and we are making a stockpile of rail spikes that we find. They wiggle out: These were invented by Robert Livingston Stevens in 1832. It seems that after 187 years, a simple modification might have been made to keep them from wiggling loose. Maybe a bit of a bump about an inch down from the head? You might have noticed I made a few little tweaks to the site. I am going to make a few more. I was in Norway with steve and mike last weekend. It was amazing. We made a small boat and lit it on fire.
