Does anybody have a source of rail anchors to fit 80 ASCE rail? I've checked with various vendors, including Kovalchick, but am not having much luck. Perhaps some other museum has a rusty barrel of them laying about?

Larry- Good luck with that. I suppose all of the junk we saved from Pueblo Army Depot is long gone? Merry Christmas. Ned

Pueblo was all 90 ARA-A (some of which was marked 90 pound Santa Fe) from the ex-Missouri Pacific interchange up onto the post. The rail out in Pueblo's ammunition igloo area, including the track leading to the TTC, was 75 ASCE, which was one of the handful of rail sections sanctioned by the War Production Board for rolling during WW2. Fort Campbell had a lot of 80 ASCE in their ex-Tennessee Central track, but none of it was anchored.

Regardless, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
