Thanks for the update and photos Todd and Jeff. Looks great! Reminds me of the first year we laid rail at Alpine (94' ? ) Todd.
What size rail are you spiking down? Is the plan to use Fisher rail joiners?
Glad to see this happening. Congrats!
The rail on site is a mix. We found 3 or 4 different manufacturers stamps; the only one I remember off the top of my head is CF&I. Some of the date stamps went all the way back to the 19th C. We were using the lightest stuff which looked to be about 55 lb. (depth a bit over 4”).
Rail is already drilled, and joiners on site are angle bars, not Fisher joints. The frog is also a bit sharp (#6), but I gather this stuff isn’t easy enough to get ahold of to be too picky.
There’s a lovely two-way Elliot stand and a pair of 3-way Buda stands there. I posted pictures of those on the Elliot switch stand thread. The Elliot has a dog-bone base, which may or may not be 100% C&S, but it certainly looks the part.
