Blue Paint?

[NW Mailing List]

"Does any one know the significance of a patches of blue paint (approx 8-12") on the sides of the rails?"

Yes, but they are not where track is to be removed. Some of the marks are where mileposts are located. Others indicate bonded joints for signals. White marks on the ends of ties indicate drainage pipes or culverts.
