[QUOTE]Originally posted by SteveD: [QB] Not that anybody asked, but here's a little history of the track now being relaid. The portion south of Smeltzer(Edinger Ave.) was originally 56# rail laid w/o tie plates by SA&NRy in 1897, followed by 62# rail laid by S.P. between Smeltzer and Stanton in 1907. A mile of 60# rail was sebsequently installed between Wiebling(Ellis Ave.) and Wintersburg(Warner Ave.), still in place when P.E. acquired the line in 1948 altho washed out and silted in since S.P. had officially abandoned it six years previous. The whole line was relaid with 90# rail by P.E. in 1952, including treated pine and gum ties. My question to you field observers is what is the weight of the CWR being dropped for installation now?
