For all you full scalers ...or...ever just wonder how much that piece of rail weighs that you found in the woods near the abandoned right of way? I brought a 3 foot or so long section home once and almost busted my back doing it. Afterwards I searched for a way to calculate the number of pounds per linear foot, based on the cross sectional dimensions. See the chart on this link: http://www.icrr.net/rails.htm
