Driving Spikes

From: pobasted@hotmail.com

I am wondering exactly how the spikes were driven into the ties. It seems to me that the easiest way would be to have people go through with small hand hammers to get them in place and started and then a second group would come through with the big sledges and drive it home. Can you confirm if this is how they did it, and if not can you please explain the process?
