PS is an abbreviation for Pennsylvania Standard - one of
several types of rail. Compared to RE (for American Railway
Engineer Association) rail, it has a shorter web and
a heftier head. N&W tested a six- mile section of the
155# PS rail in the west main track near Glenhayes, WV on the
Scioto Division. In the 70's, it was taken up, cropped, welded,
and re-laid on the Buchanan Branch.
