At Chicago's busy Lumber Street Amtrak facility, a maintenance-of-way worker welds a section of rail under absolutely bone chilling conditions.

Ski Weld (1891-1944) began painting covers for "The Saturday Evening Post" in 1937 and contributed thirteen in all, covering a variety of entertaining sports and exotic locales. His last published illustration was the basketball cover of the January 24, 1942 issue of the Post.

I have some gruesome pictures of the rot on the back corner and underneath but i made a template and fabricated a curved section and welded that ton a curved piece of metal sheet i cut and them weled the whole lot to the cab and then filled etc and once painted you really could not tell at all..
Two exposures one set to lighten to bring extra sparks through, apart from that a single exposure, processed in photoshop using highlight/shadow and then in niks colour efex's to bring in detail. There's also a slight oob too.

My Blog Site. Not much on it yet.
RJ Corman is busy installing brand new CWR on the east end of the former Pan Am. A wheeled excavator, which is utilized to position the rail exactly in place on the ties behind the puller machines, sits just ahead of the rail welding truck.
North American Prototype Modelers is replacing a section of worn-out 90-pound rail near Independence with 115-pound continuous welded rail. Union Pacific Extra 4921 East is on the River Line with a load of rail for the project. The work train is powered by a pair of SD70Ms is carrying quarter-mile-long lengths of continuous welded rail on flatcars with specialized racks — the racks have rollers which will be used to unload the rail once it arrives at the work site. The welded rail is quite flexible and easily negotiates the curves encountered by the train.
The rail train belongs to NAPM member Scot Cerka. The train was detailed by ProtoLoads of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina. The locomotives are Athearn Genesis SD70M units with Tsunami sound. The flatcars are Tangent Scale Models with rail racks added by ProtoLoads. For safety, the Union Pacific uses hopper cars as buffers at each end of the train; the two buffer cars on each end of the model are Bethlehem four-bay hoppers from Tangent Scale Models and weathered by ProtoLoads. The couplers are Sergent Engineering scale couplers. The Sergent couplers reduce the unprototypical slack and produce more reliable coupling. Finally, a 10K ohm resistor was added to the trailing truck of each car to comply with NAPM's car standards to activate the club's signal system.
At the center of the train is a tie-down car. On the prototype this car locks the rail in place; on the model it is functional and serves the same purpose. At each end of the train is a tunnel car which the rail passes through. As the train negotiates curves the rail slides in an out of the tunnel cars, allowing the train to remain flexible. Between the tie-down and each tunnel car are 10 flatcars — 20 total — which support the rail on racks with rollers. The model functions just as the prototype, allowing the rail to move through the train. Each rail is a seventeen foot (a scale quarter-mile long) piece continuously modeled from gray plastic. The rail was weathered using Rust-Oleum Painters Touch Satin Espresso, Flat Red Primer and completed with Krylon Matte Finish.

This is Jason welding, attaching duals to his combine to give it more flotation in the mud. Looks to me like he's getting burnt.
The process of electric arc welding is as it says ... you are basically melting the steel by running a massive electric arc through the metal, melting it and joining the material together. This is a great shot, lucky actually, as I timed it so you can see the heat through the metal with the welder on the other side.

Another image from todays visit to Spurn Point..... Did loads of welding glass stuff gaining (at some points) a 10 min exposure....quite like the contrasts between the sky and the forground.

The second image in the WELD series all taken using a homemade welding glass filter......i hope in the future to gather enough images to produce a book or something......i would love other users input/thoughts on these images Thanks
