What a dumb thing to do. Basic trackwork 101. No torch cutting unless its an emergency. Then you replace the section of rail during the next maintenance window. I wonder who's head will roll for this????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54758645381324522.post-79272340815229810042008-02-11T21:23:00.000-07:002008-02-11T21:23:00.000-07:00Thanks for stopping by!

Fixing a break could take as little as 24 hours, if it was due to defective rail or rail damage.<BR/><BR/>However, if it was due to subsidence (and therefore required relaying the trackbed), it would take much longer (months).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
