A track spike is a large nail with an offset head that is used to secure rails and base plates to the sleepers in track. The track spikes are roughly chisel-shaped with a flat-edged point. The spike is driven into the sleeper with the edge against the grain, which gives greater resistance to loosening. The main function of the track spike is to keep the rail in gauge. Rail dog spikes provide a strong, simple and inexpensive solution to securing rail track.

The method of manufacture ensures that the track spike head and shank remain one solid piece of metal with no joins or welds.

Applications
The track spike ranges in use in many countries from coal and gold mines to sugar plantations, peat works, garden festivals and leisure parks, as well as in some heavy rail applications.
