The thread below on Old Hands talks about how an engineer can beat up equipment, but your track can beat things up even worse. By definition a railroad IS it's track. Good track makes everything easier. Martyhuck@aol.com |

Good > track makes everything easier. Hear, hear. Our track is pretty rough at SCRM, which contributed to our diner being removed from service. A derailment back in the '70s broke a spring, and our bad track made the break worse this past season. The car's now out of service until we get a replacement spring. Fortunately, we have a TEA-21 grant to bring the track up to a good solid Class III, which we'll continued to call Class I. The South Carolina Railroad Museum mconrad@msmgmt.com |
