Good day all,
I've recently been getting into a little history of our local train lines here in Austin Texas and found something interesting last week.
There is a defunct spur line running to one of our power stations here that still has sections of tracks intact that I was checking out last weekend.
The track is labeled Carnegie 1902, and from what I've learned is that it was made in 1902 by the Carnegie steel mills.
This spur line was laid sometime in the early 70's and seems to have fallen into disuse in the 90's (researching aerial photos)
So my question is this, assuming these tracks were possibly used on another line, pulled up and reused here?
Thanks
Bryan
