Date nails during the early half of the 20th century were widespread on various roads. Most often, date nails indicated when the tie was treated at the factory before being laid by track gangs. The Santa Fe were yuge buyers of date nails, with the newest being stamped in 1969.
Here, a date nail dated for 1927 is embedded into a railroad tie at Colmor, NM. The Raton and Glorieta Subs are some of the last mainlines that feature date nails of this age.

You know, just when I'm thinking of coming back to flickr, they decide to force this black look with the sidebar on everyone. It looks like absolute shit on my screen and it's so hard to quickly find the info I usually look at (tags, other groups/streams it's in), so now I'm thinking of completely giving up this site.
Mayne Island is a 21-square-kilometre (8.1 sq mi) island in the southern Gulf Islands chain of British Columbia. It is midway between the Lower Mainland of BC and Vancouver Island, and has a population of 1,071. Mount Parke in the south-central heart of the island is its highest peak at 255 metres (837 feet).
During the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858-1860 and after, Vancouver Island miners gathered on Mayne Island before rowing across Georgia Strait to the mainland of BC in search of their fortunes. The earliest homesteaders registered land claims in the Miners Bay area in 1859.
Mayne Island was named (c. 1860) after Lieutenant Richard Charles Mayne, RN, engaged in hydrographic surveys on this coast 1857-1861; he died 1892. Lieutenant Mayne's journal, 17 February 1857 - 31 December 1860 while he was aboard HMS Plumper under Capt Richards.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I've always wanted Treasures! Bratz dolls, but I haven't had the best luck finding them at flea markets and second hand stores. I do recall vaguely when this collection hit store shelves, back in 2005. That was the last year I purchased dollies as a kid. By that point I was starting to feel embarrassed and self conscious about my dolly hobby. That did not mean, however, that I didn't WANT all the Bratz in stores. I just pretended I didn't like them. I think I even made some comment about how gimmicky this pirate themed Bratz collection was (though I secretly coveted it). I had to resort to buying this Sasha online. I figured there was a slim chance I'd find her in the wild. Even if I did, it was even less likely she'd come with any of her cool stuff. I saw her listed on eBay sometime in early 2013. The seller I bought her from had three other Bratz dolls I was interested in, and she was willing to combine shipping. I was really surprised that nobody bid against me for Sasha...I think I got her for $21 before the combined shipping price. Of the four dolls I bought, Tokyo a Go-Go Sasha and Treasures! Sasha were definitely my favorites. I actually hadn't even been intentionally searching for this doll, if I'm not mistaken. I had typed in Tokyo a Go-Go Sasha into eBay, found the doll I ended up buying, and scoped out the seller's other listings. This is still a shopping technique I use to this day. If a seller's price and item are appealing, chances are they will have other stuff I want too. The extra special thing about Treasures Sasha and the other Bratz I acquired is that they were all the woman's childhood dolls. She must have been close in age to me, since our era of Bratz growing up was the same! She was very excited that I bought so many of her dolls, since she needed the money and wanted them all to go to a good home. Knowing the backstory of Miss Sasha and her former housemates endeared me all that much more to them!
