[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dehusman Nobody has mentioned that the rails themselves are canted (typically 40 to 1 ) inward to match the taper on the wheels. The cant is built into the tie plates. Dave H. [/quote] True. That assumes, by the way, that there are tie plates there and that they work. A safe assumption on US mainlines and heavily-used branches, but not necessarily the case elsewhere in the world (or some situations in the US). But we should have mentioned them anyway. Thanks.[oops]
