N&W in 1903 -- New Rail

[NW Mailing List]

I'm not familiar with the term 'PS'; please explain. I guess 're-lay' means
that the item had been elsewhere and is being re-used at a new place. I have
heard this term applied to ties.

[By contrast with the "massive" 85-pound rails in 1903, the NS currently
uses predominantly 136-pound rail and even some 141-pound rail.  

There's also some re-lay 155=pound PS rail on the Buchanan Branch.
