Over the years I have taken several photos of rail and track work so I think it is time to share them. Todd is weathering his rail on his track and I thought these photos would be of interest to other people. I find it easier to caption with edits so standby while I finish the post. Charlie
This is a picture of the rail on the KJR and the ballast is about 9 years old. Notice the rust from the rail and tie plates is also running onto the stone. [attachment=39985] This one shows the general track and the rust that ocurs. This is class one track, good for 10 MPH freight and 15MPH passenger. [attachment=39984] The next 2 show 130 pound (per yard) Pennsylvania Standard rail rolled in 1928. The slashes indicate the month [attachment=39983][attachment=39982]
