N&W in 1903 -- New Rail

[NW Mailing List]

PS is an abbreviation for Pennsylvania  Standard - one of 
several types of rail.  Compared to RE (for American  Railway
Engineer Association)  rail, it has a shorter  web and
a heftier head.  N&W tested a six- mile section of the
155# PS rail in the west main track near Glenhayes, WV on  the
Scioto Division.  In the 70's, it was taken up, cropped,  welded,
and re-laid on the Buchanan Branch.
