Cut devil - hot or cold tool?


Recommended Posts

Cold cutting RR rail
This is how I was told it was done year ago.
The rail was spiked down to ties the rail was scored all around where the cut was to be.
Jacks were uses to apply pressure then with hot rail from the sun or a torch ice was applied and the rail would brake at the cut line.

Good info, 781. Much appreciated. Do you know how the jacks were used?
