[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ValleyX</i> <br /><br />The good side of posting to these boards is where it leads to, one can learn from them or one can sort through the flam looking for a morsel of valuable information. We get to have plenty of discussions with people that we would otherwise never share with and most likely, will never meet face to face. <br /> <br />The bad side is that we can sit and read these and tend to read into them more than was meant by the poster or less than was meant by the poster. We each have our own way of looking at things and interpeting things. Goodness was meant as an exclamation but not in an insulting sort of way. Guess I'll have to be more careful but I don't really buy into political correctness very well, don't think one should go about purposely insulting others but it's gone overboard. Howeve, I also know it's a requirement of present-day life if one carries on relationships with others in any form, also required for employment at most places, one must hold ones' tongue. <br /> <br />Enough of that, back to railroading. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Well, I walked considerably further today, with rail ID in mind , and by far the vast majority matched the earlier referance. <br /> <br />In short sections I spotted more Carnagie open hearth vintage 1943 and 1939, one length marked "CC" Tennessee 1948 (controlled cooling I guess) as well as a section 3 lengths long marked "CC" USS Illinois 1979, and another separate rail section 2 lengths long marked "CC" Beth Steelton 1979, that must be Bethlehem Steel... but easily 95% of all of it was the earlier mentioned 1940 vintage. <br /> <br />The 1943 surprised me most, being war/steel rationing years
