Did not know that. Thought the rails were kept shiny via continuous use. Thank you

I saw one of these 2-3 months ago grinding the UP tracks a half mile from my house. Don't remember seeing any water spray tho. Those tracks get heavy use by coal trains.

That's what I thought. I guess they have to level and trim them. That must cut down their useful life quite a bit.
