Continuous Welded Rail

Also called "ribbon rail," or just plain "welded rail." This is as opposed to "jointed rail," which is often referred to as "stick rail," because in a pile it's like a lot of sticks.


After 39 years in the industry, never heard jointed rail refered to as 'stick' rail.

I guess threre are still new things to learn.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
