Rail Wear

Description

The former GM&O mainline south of Joliet is now owned by the UP but most of the traffic is state sponsored Amtrak. Here on the inside edge of the rail between Pontiac and Dwight you can see signs that it has been too long since a rail grinder has passed this way. The flange edge has rolled over and a piece has peeled away.

There's not much left to grind...

Why bother. Amtrak trains are light!
