Replacing Rail Before We Derail

It's late October. The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder and the race to fix as many trouble spots on the railroad before winter is in full swing. I have one spot of the railroad where I was running out of rail while we were building it, so I use every short section of rail I could find. It was on a straightaway, so it wasn't as critical as having a bunch of rail joints in a curve and, at the time, I didn't have enough rail joints to do the job properly.
Fast forward a decade, and now the never completed track is pretty beat up and showing its age. This was supposed to be a quick fix. Just replace a couple sticks of rail. But once I got into it, the project snowballed into replacing twelve feet of rail, five ties, and several sets of joint bars under the light of the locomotive. By the end, the temperature had dropped to near freezing, but the line was back in service.
That's the way it goes with late October track work on the Mill Brook Railroad.
