SHOWING PROTOTYPE GUARD RAILS SHOWING THE WEAR MARKS DUE TO ACTUALLY GUIDING WHEELS AWAY FROM THE FROG POINT

A small set of Pictures showing the Heavily "Rubbed" Guard Rails on switch #175, North of Grover Beach Station, on the LA-SF Amtrak Coast route.

Note these are large pictures around 80K each and may take time to fully download

Although the marks look dark gray in the pictures, it is because of the their vertical angle to the sky. They are in fact bright polished steel, just like the railheads
