WELDED RAIL ALL THE WAY ON THE SANTA FE

The Santa Fe has laid over 5,000 miles of welded rail on its system. A new rail welding plant has been constructed at Amarillo, Texas. The plant also reclaims rail that has been removed when welded rail is installed. The old rail is shipped to the Amarillo plant in 1,440 sections where it is disassembled and reclaimed.
