When I was about 19, our work group was assigned to lay some railroad tracks. I am 6’-2” and the rest of the crew was at least 6” shorter, so no matter where I was, I was carrying half of the track.
That’s where my connection to the Railroading started.

Yes, Plasser & Theurer (an Austrian firm) also produce machines for building new track. Pretty amazing :D
