Apr 4, 2011 - What exactly do you agree with? No claims where made. What advice? It's a series of questions. CWR first appeared over 80 years after fishplates and are still in use. Which way does your mom prefer to get railed?

Apr 4, 2011 - I agree that it is alot of time and people, all 4 of them, and all 4 minutes. No, fishplates are not that bad. But, no, there is no need for thermal expansion. And for the final question, my Mom likes it just about the way yours does, ecept your Mom has an "outie" and she farts alot, but it is an improvement on her smell!

The molten steel drops into the runner between the rail ends, and there are risers at each side to let the air, slag etc. out. Because you need the metal to be above the rail head, you do get a lot of extra metal. You can see on the other rail where the top has been ground off to rail profile.

May 3, 2012 - They don't do itlike this much anymore. Now they have machines that do it safer.












gsbacorn Says:
Mar 31, 2011 - I agree. You can weld them by hand in about 23 seconds. You may want to tell them how to do this, they have been doing it wrong for YEARS now. How often do you hear of a railroad track breaking apart? They should take your advice.
