Re: How did the railroad grind the rails in the 40's and 50's

One of the reasons that it was not so used in earlier years was the simple fact that "bad" rail
was easily replaced in 39 foot sections. High speed passenger routes may have had the joint ends
ground but the process of profile grinding miles of track was a later idea.
