manganese frogs and tie length

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

manganese insert frogs have been more or less standard for US mainline 
railroad use since approximately 1910. Standard tie length is 8'6" for most 
railroads a notable exception was SP using 9' perhaps due to their proximity to west 
coast forests.
