Find out how we Bend Rail to make a Curved section of track.
We'll show you several different methods of bending rail that we have used to get
a straight stick of rail to follow a curve radius. This is not main line track, the video
was taken on excepted track, meaning the track speed there is 10 MPH. It is the track
they use when loading the coal cars at the prep plant.
Here is the link to watch the video where I was tamping and the
rail broke on curve 11 that I had told you about in this video:
