What I saw was the straight stock rail being welded. The diverging stock rail and the frog were already in place, the points had not been installed yet. I wi***hat question had occured to me while I was there, I would have asked it. I believe the turnout was being constructed on site because it was going to be placed in the middle of a grade crossing, so the turnout and the crossing material had to be made to fit. <br /> <br />The only thing I was thinking at the time was that I was late to pick my wife up from work and she would be mad ( oh well!), and I should have brought marshmallows !!!
