So as not to hijack the thread below I have started a new thread about imported rail.

The first time I saw Nippon Steel was up in the Feather River Canyon by Rock Creek. Did UP get rid of that rail?

Using imported steel isn't new. I was told by a NWP bridgetender that the Brazos lift bridge (by Napa) was built in Japan and put in after the Baldwins crashed thru the old one back in the 50's.
