About This Item

'55' Railroad Nail


“55 Railroad Nail” This TB is in memory of my father. Dad passed away in September of 2007. He was a Railroad brakeman for 32 years for the Illinois Central Railroad . Dad gave me this numbered nail that is attached to the TB when I was a young boy. Long ago, when they replaced the ties in the railroad tracks, they would drive a nail into the tie with the last two digits of the year stamped on the head to identify the year the tie was replaced.

Grabbed this on a wet and rainy caching day with my son. We are headed to Europe at the end of July and would be happy to hang onto this TB to release it there if the TB owner would like? Just shoot me an email to let me know! Thanks!
