<p>I'm not suprised that there are so many flat-spotted wheels out there. Many crews sadly do not check for severe flatness in the first place.</p> <p>A Strasburg RR employee once told me of a friend of his who woked for another railroad. He called to say that he had found a wedge of a freight car wheel! Much like a piece of pie. More to the suprise of both, a car came into the Strasburg yard a couple of days later, with a chunk missing, much like a pie. The two met up, and yes, it was a match!</p> <p>Imagine how far that incomplete wheel went, banging along the rails unnoticed...</p>
