Maybe parts of the NEC, yes.some parts of PATH still have jointed rail for some distances as well, but for the most part it is welde rail. Welded rail has been used since the 50's and earlier. its just that with the baby boom came the railroad crash. BTW, i have read of steamers coasting at 105+ miles an hour over jointed rail without a sweat. older cars and locos were more durable ,in that sense, than newer cars. NEC has been welded for a long time now. |
