This could have been posted in many different places but as usual, I picked NYS....after all, the rail in question was in the Frontier Yard. Make a copy into CSX if you wish.....
Rail in question:

I took a few moments to check out the Frontier Yard today, and with no traffic yet, I started scanning the area with my lower grade binoculars. I looked at the rails nearest me [Old Broadway] and saw one rail dated 1943 [Not mainline rail]. Then I spotted the rail in question, NIPPON. To me that mean Japan.
Do we really import foreign rails? We can't even make our own rails anymore? I guess that shouldn't surprise me. Years ago, I needed thumbtacks. Made in China. I was disgusted.
