How was the plate attached to the rail?

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

Excellent report, you hearty explorer and traffic nuisance.

>>Some of what looked like never spiked holes were where the spike had been sheared off,<<

Hmmm. Readjustment of plate? Broken during driving?

>>Almost all of the spikes that were not next to the rail were 1" to 3" protruding.<<

Hmmmmm. I wonder why.
The ones we pulled out were right adjacent to the rail.
At least some were, because I remember looking at it trying to guess if it would come out.....

>>.....my spike is prettier than any of your spikes.<<

Well!

How can we tell without a picture? I think you should hop down to the store and get one of those digicams. A guy like you is just right for the Sony Mavica, and then we can see....

IF YOU CAN BACK UP A CLAIM LIKE THAT!!!!
