It's my understanding that most of the flex track we have has
'branchline
spacing' of it's ties. I hope I'm correct here in saying that the SHS
code 126 trackage is spaced for the mainline.
"S"peaking of ties, my son-in-law, a retired SP/UP engineer, told me
that track is still safe (at slow speeds) even if only one tie out of
five remains. In other words, if four ties out of five were removed,
the train could still pass over it safely. Deliberately over engineered
to provide a margin of safety. Interesting, eh?....Ed L.
