[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CShaveRR</i> <br /><br />(If I remember correctly, CP got into trouble for using Canadian standards to maintain its U.S. track. If the AC line is bad by those standards, it must be really something to look at!) <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I'm not an expert on this by any means, but I had always been under the impression that Canadian track standards were higher than US ones. The reason for this is because a couple of years ago CP was replacing the old ties on the line that runs through my town. When the workers stopped in the coffee shop some people asked them if it would be possible to buy the ties for their own uses. The response was that since US track standards are lower that CP sells their old ties to Amtrak. Anyone else hear of this? Like I say, I'm no expert on track regulations, but that's what was said. Perhaps the guy was even lying to get the people off his back or maybe regulations have changed since then?
