<<How was the plate attached to the rail?>>

The plates had hooked flanges that went over the bottom flange of the rail. Must have been slid on or, slud like Dizzy Dean said, before the rail was laid. You ever feel how heavy rail is?

<<Have you had a chance to look at concrete railroad ties? How's it done with those?>>

No I haven't. I'd bet they had lead anchors to tie the rails down. You learn stuff like that when you live in a tornado area in a trailer.
