No railroad is going to offer a reward to find damaged joint bars. If I want to split the reward as a PM signal maintainer with the midnight repairman, out of the marsh comes a new joint bar. What surprised me is they still used spikes in that photo and rail is not welded. How much more would it cost to affix ultrasound to the TG and Sperry cars for tie plate and joint bars? They will always need to inspect joints at signal block and interlocking IJs after welding is done |
