The men were charged in connection with the spikes from train tracks near Flat Rock.

Police said they found Cruz Mario Carnacion, 37, and Jose Luis Trejo-Yanez, 35, with more than 500 7-inch steel spikes, which can be sold for scrap.

Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis said the missing spikes could have caused a derailment.

The men are charged with conspiracy to damage railroad property, willful injury to railroad property and trespassing on railroad property.

The men are being held on Immigration and Customs Enforcement orders pending deportation proceedings.
