I notice that this 136 lb rail made in 1979 is now on secondary track, or perhaps a siding, so it has probably been cascaded once or twice. My muddy friend can also explain "cascading" as I am too busy, ha!

OK - I will bite - gently - what are the heat numbers?

I haven't really figured out the hash marks yet.

Near rail has 12 hash marks = December

Far rail has 6 has marks = June

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
