I FINALLY had the chance to shoot railways. These weren't used anymore so we could take all the time we needed. I'm not really satisfied with my pictures though and plan to return to that place someday. It has huge potential.
Douglas fir rails with G-10 wear strips on top, bent to match the upward curve of the seats.
The rails are removable - they are bolted into threaded brass inserts epoxied into the seat tops.
Screen shot of the rather wonderful rails emacs mode (http://rubyforge.org/projects/emacs-rails/). Note side by side opening of the same ruby file, syntax colouring of the .rhtml file and immediate access to irb and sql sessions. The drop down menu gives you some more ideas of the MANY great things this software does
These rails are AMAZING, I never once had to touch a tool for my entire installation, and the server just glides along them!
Update November, 15, 2011
Installed new Dell R510 server, labeled all the cables in the rack, added new KVM, and changed OS on LEVIATHAN.
R510 Specs:

2 x Intel Xeon E5620 @ 2.4 GHz
24 GB of RAM
8 x 2TB Seagate HDDs totalling 16TB (10TB Usable with RAID-Z 2)
8GB USB Flash drive Running OS

The R510 is a beautiful server, by far my favorite.

Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe #1534 - 1917 Lounge/Crew Dormitory
"Railroads often adapted older passenger equipment for new uses. Some cars went through three or four configurations during their service lives.
In the pre-streamlined era, the Santa Fe operated a fleet of famous Chicago-California trains, such as the "Chief," the "Scout," and the "De-Luxe." Six older heavyweight standard passenger coaches were rebuilt in the railroad's own shops, each with a lounge area at one end and open sections at the other. During the day, the section's seats were open to passengers enjoying a drink or snack from the lounge; at night, the berths were used by crewmen, who typically worked the entire trip between the Midwest to the West Coast.
ATSF 1534 was retired in 1960, and initially went to a Missouri museum. That museum donated the car to IRM in 1969. The car occasionally operates, but is still under restoration. It is the only surviving car of this type.

PEARL HARBOR (Dec. 17, 2015) Fire Controlman 2nd class Kelli Flanagan mans the rails of the guided-missile destroyer USS Chafee (DDG 90) as it returns to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam following an independent deployment to the Western Pacific. Deployed since May, the crew of more than 350 Sailors steamed a total of 42,000 nautical miles across the U.S. 3rd, 4th and 7th Fleet areas of operation. While deployed Chafee conducted various theater security operations and goodwill activities with partner nations. Chafee also escorted USS George Washington (CVN 73) during a Southern Sea deployment around South America and through the Straits of Magellan before the carrier's return to Norfolk, Va. this month.

The main cathedral in Birmingham, it is where the Bishop of Birmingham is based.
It is the third smallest cathedral in England after Derby and Chelmsford
The Cathedral Church of St Philip is a Church of England cathedral and seat of the Bishop of Birmingham. It was built as a parish church and consecrated in 1715. It became a cathedral in 1905 for the newly formeed Diocese of Birmingham. It was built in the early 18th century in the Baroque style by Thomas Archer and is located on Colmore Row in Birmingham (and Temple Row to the south and west). The cathedral is a Grade I listed building.
Designed 1709 and consecrated in 1715, though the tower not completed until 1725. Raised to cathedral status in 1905. By Thomas Archer, his first big commission, and of far more than local importance as a major monument of the English Baroque. Stone, refaced in 1864-9 by J A Chatwin. Restored after war damage, 1947-8. Rectangular in plan with slight east and west projections representing chancel and tower; the aisles extend further than the nave at each end to form vestibules containing stairs to the galleries either side of the tower and vestries either side of the chancel. The vestries are part of the alterations made to the east end in 1883-4 by J A Chatwin who also extended Archer's original shallow apsidal chancel. Tower and porches either side with Borrominesque detail. Side elevations with arched windows separated by Doric pilasters carrying an entablature and parapet with urns on the skyline. Inside, a 5-bay arcade, north and south galleries and plasterwork by Richard Hass. Principal among the furnishings are the organ-case of 1715 by Thomas Schwarbrick of Warwick, the wrought-iron chancel rails in the style of Tijou or Bakewell of Derby and the east and west stained glass windows of 1885-97 designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and made by William Morris.
