I'm curious, why the proposal for change?

Bill Lane pretty well explained it. I don't think a bridge rail 4 inches
long requires any spiking; there's not enough lateral force to knock it out
of alignment far enough to cause a problem. But there are guys in my club
who insist on spiking them, which chews up the ties those spikes go into.
With a bridge rail only 2 inches long, they surely won't want to spike them
(I hope).
As to the necessity of longer bridge rails because some show up with gross
deviations from the standards, I can't believe that. We do better work than
that. Though I do remember when a certain participant showed up in New
Jersey with modules with centerline to centerline of mainlines wrong - he
had misread the specifications by a quarter inch, I think, even though he
had been involved in creating some of the early drawings. But that's not
going to happen very often.
