THe NYMR PW dept has just bought in some second hand G44 sleepers as we have done in the past few years.
However this time round at least 2 of the sleepers have these 25 mm approx studs embedded in them. They will be cut off before we lay them though.
This got me wondering what they were used to fasten down.
Any ideas ?
I am very familiar with G44's having used them many times on NWR Relays around the country but do not recall them of this size.
Initial thoughts were for mounting AWS ramps but that would be a pair of smaller bolts.
Could they be for S+C Stress beams?
