How a Rail is Changed on the Railroad

What we do to change a stick of rail. Plus you will see us pulling old rail out and putting new rail back in with a grapple truck. See also video on How to Drive Railroad Spikes:    • Windmill Spiking and Driving Railroad...   A stick of rail is 39 feet in length and a new stick of 132 pound rail weighs: 1716 pounds. We have almost all 132 pound rail here with a very small amount of 136. 132 rail means it weighs 132 pounds per yard. Contractors in the video are from GW Peoples located in 84 Pa. Old used rail that is totally junk is scrapped, also rails that have a Sperry defect are scrapped. Rail that is taken out with only a few/minor surface imperfections will be sold to a RR contractor who will then use it for a siding, yard or spur track replacement or for bridge guard rails at one of their other jobs. A Sperry rail is one in which the ultrasonic rail testers have found an internal defect. It is an ethical no no to sell a known Sperry rail for anything other than scrap.
