Tie rod and old nails
Item Information
- Title:
- Tie rod and old nails
- Description:
-
Tie rod and old nails. This partly excavated tie rod is still attached to the first granite sleeper at the start of the Granite Railroad in West Quincy. The wooden rail to which it had been nailed in 1826 has of course rotted almost completely away. The railway was not wholly successful, and because of considerable breakage, as well as delays, Willard stopped using it after 1828.
