Yesterday the railroad came and replaced the tracks behind my house. I picked up as much old rail as I could carry, and hid it away.

Because, you know, scrap metal is cool.

I'm sure they would have been sold as scrap. What else could they do with them? I doubt very much they took them so they could build another bridge.

Chew Magna indeed.
