Welding Revisited Pt 2

Verry Cool , I have seen this done before ,
A few Quibbles though
1) You Never NEVER NEEEEVER use a torch to CUT rail , it messes with the temper on the top of the rail ,
2) The welds I have seen did NOT require so Much Dressing up with a grinder After ,

Other than that Verry cool !!!

why would using a torch to cut the rail be any more ruinous to the temper of the steel than pouring white hot molten metal around it?

My dad was a 'gandydancer' on a wreck crew for the Central Railroad of New Jersey. Now I have an idea of what he did.

I have a lot of respect for people that can work a job like that. Definitely not like sitting on your ass in a cube.

Promote quality and accessible vocational programs so people that want to do the work can rebuild and expand our infrastructure.

Would this be the same type of weld used for high speed rail?

5 starred, I always favourite first part of series.

5 * and favorite!
