Possible help Explanation: I have found a Web page that may be useful in answering this question at http://www.dvgups.ru/METDOC/ITS/GDPUT/TMAPR/LAB_RAB/1/LABA1.... Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-21 00:16:55 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have spoken with my brother who does not know Russian, but who worked for the railroads as a surveyor and accident investigator for 30 years. He believes \"балл\" may be \"ballast\" and the numbers refer either to width and depth (I told him the letters are wrong) or possibly to dates. In the US, he said, each spike in a tie has a date on it. And yes, he has seen spikes as old as 1938 in this country. He wanted to know if the chart may be from an accident report. Anyhow, I hope this information helps. Reference: http://www.dvgups.ru/METDOC/ITS/GDPUT/TMAPR/LAB_RAB/1/LABA1.... |
