I was down at Central Chalmers at lunch time and noted significant guage
face wear on the curves both at Devonshire and Eddy Ave sides of the stop.

Not only are the gauge faces chewed out over 5mm, but chips of loose metal
are collecting in the groove.

This piece I picked up off the tracks just before the line turns under the
railway viaduct. It's over 20cm long. The multi-tool is calibrated in mm on
one side (and inches on the other). The wheels are not just grinding the
rail surface away, the are squeezing a sliver of metal out.

Soon there will be a week-long shutdown so they can replace the rails in
these curves. So much for the consortium ensuring the infrastructure and
the cars chosen are compatible.
