I have plenty of railroad spikes and leaf springs for forging, but someone recently gave me some railroad track bolts. Has anyone on here forged anything out of them? Supposedly, they are made out of high strength steel.
 
Looks like you need to try it and let us know how it goes! Good luck.
 
High strength does not necessarily mean high carbon and hardenability. I suspect they are something like schedule 8 bolts. Forge them into snakes and dragons.
