[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ValleyX Wasn't trying to pick a fight, I was only trying to say what I believe to be true, unless that's a plug, I don't believe that piece of rail has been lying in that spot since 1940. I know that NS, CSX, and Conrail all took up mainlines and put them someplace else, signals too, for that matter. And for all I know, all that rail was used for passing tracks somewhere and yard tracks but I've read otherwise, wish I could cite that for verification. And I know that the welded rail on the mainlines wasn't all welded together in place. This is a heavily trafficked mainline, was a mainline on the Wabash, a mainline on the N&W, and probably has seen more trains in the last five years since the Conrail acquisition than ever before. It was never a secondary main. I've learned more about rail and its pedigree today than I've ever known, I was working from memory and years of riding across the stuff, some of the very rail under discussion. [/quote] Glad to hear it, neither was I..[;)] It was just kinda freeky with others coming in saying "no need to fight" or talking about how agreeable I am or aren't, so in that context, looking back at your reply starting "goodness",...I was afraid I had somehow offended you totally unintentionally. Glad to hear I didn't, THAT is the important thing.[:)]
