So, if higher mains and lower and lower grade yards are prototypical, what weight rails would be used in the various eras? If we're now using 130 lb. on the mains and 90 lb. on the yards, how about the 50s? and the 30s? and the 1890s? Was there something like a "standard" rail weight for the Class 1 mains? From there, do standard manufactured rails, say for HO and N compare? SMS
