Salvage on old train box car
Hope this right place to ask I have the salvage of an old wooden box car it's all wood but the bolts that bind it together some are over 12' long and two inch around some are less and the corners are plate bent in a angle to protect the corners. I was wandering what kind of steel these bolts would possibly be made of . Any thoughts or knowage thank you

Does anyone Know what these are used for?
its a bull rake tooth the wooden rake pole was split so the steel would slide between the two parts and then bolt in place. the steel would last longer than the wood some had the dished out sides as this one does and some had a pocket in which the wood would slide into then the point was on top of that . I can get photos of mine if you need
