Modeler's Moment - Use the rails you've got
April 29, 2006 - 06:50 — Slambo
Jointed rail was normally made in 39 foot lengths so it would fit in a 40 foot gondola, but shorter lengths can be found in use. Prototype railroads used whatever lengths they had. If you're modeling jointed rail, include a few shorter pieces near the foreground for extra detail.

Sometimes they're REALLY short
In looking around for new background images, I found another example of an exceptionally short rail.
