Eastern Railroad Discussion > Replacement rail at Palmer MADate: 09/13/21 16:55 Replacement rail at Palmer MA Author: NixonRocks I stopped by Palmer MA to see if there was any action, I just missed the westbound Lake Shore Limited but I noticed something even more interesting
The manufacturer and date stamp on the new and replacement rail lined up perfectly as they laid side by side The new was manufactured by Nippon in 2020, the old was from Bethlehem Steelton 1998 Hard to believe such young rail was replaced Mark Date: 09/13/21 19:30 Re: Replacement rail at Palmer MA Author: Gonut1 22 years on mainline rail. Maybe not so young? Great candidate for replacing branchline or yard rail that is decades older.
Just saying. Go Date: 09/14/21 03:16 Re: Replacement rail at Palmer MA Author: bob01566 Apparently the plan is to install the old rail in the yard where it's sorely needed...
