[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3359753, member: 26737"] My uncle is retired from the BNSF, and his job had something to to with the maintenance of ribbon rail, but I don't recall what it was (although I do know that he could tell you the best burger joint within about ten miles of a BNSF line anywhere in Oklahoma). I know he drove a high-railer for his job. Somewhere I have a nylon rail spacer that they used to use to set the gap between the rails (IIRC, they set the space between the rails, then put a form over the gap and used molten steel to weld them together), and the "anvil" my dad used for as long as I can remember was an 18" segment of rail that my uncle got for him. It's heavier than it looks, too. [/QUOTE]
