another derailment
"According to sources at the crash site the incident was caused by a broken rail, and a member of the rail staff who saw the rail said it was "rusted" before it fractured." Out of curiosity (and I accept there may be a perfectly good answer to this), how can you tell a rail is rusted just by looking at it? Being steel there's always going to be a fair bit of corrosion on the outside, with only the tops being polished clean by passing trains. -- Spyke (Whose own tube tracks are thankfully made out of aluminium!) Address is valid, but messages are treated as junk. The opinions I express do not necessarily reflect those of the educational institution from which I post. |
