We are not told how many years the bolts have been used, but we might infer, that the villagers have been unscrewing nuts since the railway was built.

"Why! how many years have we all in the village been unscrewing nuts, and the Lord has been merciful; and you talk of accidents, killing people. If I had carried away a rail or put a log across the line, say, then maybe it might have upset the train, but. . . pouf! a nut!"
