more rail reuse
At the Waltham commuter rail station, there's a fence between the platform and the parking lot, and one of the fence rails is a reused railroad track rail. (It's dated 1931 and you can see the holes where the fishplates were bolted on.) So this is the second example of rail reuse in Waltham, and before today I don't think I ever saw rails being reused.
Alongside the single active track here, there were the remnants of a second track -- just the ties were still in place, no rails. So I think I know where they got the materials for this fence...
