How much does a standard railroad spike weight?

Answer 1

The one on the scale (for weighing food portions) in front of me registers 11.25 oz.

Answer 2

I have one on my desk. I just weighed it as 13.2 oz.

Answer 3

Just last week, I was talking to our Road Foreman as he was unloading a few barrels of spikes from a truck. He was using a small winch driven crane. I asked him about the weight of the barrels. He said each barrel weighed 200 pounds, cost $88.00, and held 200 spikes.
