Rail codes and what they mean

In the prototype world, the rail is measured in pounds per yard. BUT, code 100 rail is 0.100 inches tall in any scale. Code 100 HO rail is the same height as code 100 N scale rail (if there was such a thing). In HO that would represent something a little over 155 pound rail. I don't want to think what it would represent in N scale. The last part of you statement was true, code 100 is a bit big for HO, even code 83 is pretty hefty. <br />
