How about "Uncle Ed"? I've noticed you addressed that way the most frequently.

The Wikipedia explanation is different from what my son-in-law told me. I would tend to give the 'accuracy award' to Wikipedia in this instance. My interpretation of the Wiki information is that rail is pre-stretched (or heated) to be at the equivalent of the "neutral temperature" when the track is physically being laid. Neutral temperature is about halfway between the maximum and minimum expected temperatures. Thus, problems of contraction/expansion are reduced, but not totally eliminated. By the way, Earl calls me "Nephew Ed". Dick calls me "Brother Ed". Now I am "Father Ed" as well. As long as nobody calls me "Sister Ed" of "Mother Ed", I will not complain. Cheers...Ed L.
