There are two common types of railroad spikes: dog spikes and screw spikes. Here are the key differences:
Holding Power
Screw spikes provide more than twice the holding power compared to dog spikes.
Production Cost
The production cost of screw spikes is higher than that of dog spikes.
Usage with Washers
Screw spikes are used with a spring washer, whereas dog spikes do not require a washer.
