By contrast with the "massive" 85-pound rails in 1903, the NS  currently uses 
predominantly 136-pound rail and even some 141-pound  rail.  Also, I do not 
understand what is mean by the "Norfolk &  Western trunk system to the North."]


And Gordon...research on the Buchanan Branch revealed some 155-pound  
Pennsylvania Standard rail.  Harry has the details (as usual!) on where it  came from 
and why.
