105 Dudley is what I call a pain in the ass rail size as seemingly nothing else fits it but what was made for it. Most 105 Dudley bars are six bolt. ...
The D&H 251 with CP 864 , 1564 and 9671 was tied down at CPC 191 this morning when I went to the tracks about 0730. Was recrewed by a crew from 252 , I think ,...

Joe I have to confess. I don't know a thing about track bars. I just decided to look up this Dudley reference on the net and post it. So do not pose any...
That's okay. I will be getting very friendly with bars in the next couple of weeks. We are taking some track apart. Should be fairly back breaking work. To:...
NYC drilled their 105 lb Dudley rail for 6 bolts in most cases, but there is 4 hole 105 Dudley rail out there. The New Haven 107 lb 4 hole bars will work as...
