[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Funny, but Mr White missed the point of what a joint bar does.. Look again...the joint is tight, and the bolts are tight also. The ends of the rail are not shelling or peeling, so the joint is not getting hammered and the joint is in gauge and supported by at least one end on a tie...although it is not a requirement that it sit on a tie at all. The point of the joint bar is to keep the ends of the rail aligned, and to keep one end from riding higher or lower than the other...which this one is doing. Oh, and if this paticular mudchicken told me I could run a SD70M down that track at 10 mph, I would, with out any hesitation. Ed [/quote] Judging by the picture of this situation we see before us, are you and Mudchicken saying that the joint bar here (again, in this particular situation) will be able to consistently handle the tremendous loads with no signs of wearing?
