While Reading one of my Railroad magizines, I came across a section that said that the NYS&W has gotten a grant (or will get a grant from the state of NJ to electronicly weld joints on its line. My question is are they going to weld that 110lb rail, or replace it, and weld it, because from my point-of-view, it dosn't make much sense to weld rail that light. Any thoughts?
