LNERGE Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The new flat bottom points we have on the Mid Norfolk Railway have fairly sizeable chunks removed from the foot of the blades. I'll take a photo next time in near them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not alone Although that isn't a running rail but appears to be a guard rail. But, as the later picture shows, it is practice in the UK to relieve the foot of the switch rail in order to improve its flexure where flatbottom rail is used.
