The track in my area is being upgraded to 136 lb rail for future Amtrak trains, access. The railroad is the Pan Am Railway. Here are a couple photos of the track for a couple crossings. Ribbon rail is in place on each side of the present track. That is 1/4 mile long sections of track.

Piles of new ties scattered along the right of way. I ride my bicycle along a rail trail.

Good one, even though I had to think about it. :)
I was wondering who pulled the copper rail out of the dirty Post War Super-O. Boy the color is spot on. Thanks for "showing us the future" "Swami"...err, I mean Rich.
