I got to be part of an unusual method of rail repair today. A wye on the west side of town was out of service. On our way to the west side of town the MOW dept. was working on some rail by the CSX/NS diamond. We were briefed that we would have to drag two 400ft pieces of welded rail through town to the wye. The rail was chained to the front knuckle, a front end loader with some hook attachment positioned the rail in between the existing rail and we starting dragging. Now, knowing that people would probably go through road crossings as soon as the engine passed we had about 4 MOW trucks stopping at crossings to protect and then racing onto the next crossing. We shoved with a caboose and just crawled through town. Probably the only time I'll ever see something like that! [tup][swg]
