I've never seen NS or N&W do that and not to be smart about it, I've been employed by them for 30 odd years, I think I know. IIRC, the vast majority of the welded rail that N&W put down in the Ft. Wayne area on both the former NKP and the Wabash came in the mid-seventies out of the welded rail plant in Bellevue. Of course, the New Castle District north of Muncie was rebuilt and upgraded during 1981-82. <br /> <br />Some of the earliest welded rail in the whole region was put down by the Nickel Plate at Millers City, OH, about fifty miles east of New Haven, in the very early sixties. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Then we have a mystery on our hands...I assure you the rail is there and says what it says...I couldn't have "fudged" it as I didn't even know what "OH" even meant till MudChicken pointed it out. <br /> <br />I'll walk a mile down the line and see if the numbers match up, maybe I just "lucked" into a quick and dirty spot repair job?
