Railway track (OT)
I was idly looking at the track as a steam loco went over a joint and wondered why the joints in the track are not supported in some way by a sleeper (and chair) arrangement. The cantilevered unsupported ends place an incredible load on the strips of metal and bolts. I realise the problem has gone away now - but has anyone any observations? |
