  1. HI, I'm new the forum, but am in the process of getting my forge and shop together. For what it's worth, I mentioned what Fred just said about breaking off railroad rail with scoring to my 77 yo mother and she told me how my grandfather told her of having seen it done firsthand when she was a child. She said that during the summer the rail was hot enough during the day for them to make a couple of dents or chizel marks at the top of the rail where they wanted it to break it then they would just pour very cold water on the rail and it would break off clean as glass.
