For those who have been following Maurice Lewman's series on the NYC/Big Four operations in Indiana, I have just put up the second part of his 'The Use of Tools' by track gangs on the Memory Pages on the Railroads of Madison County web site http://madisonrails.railfan.net/
Just take the Memory Page link.
Part 2 givers more detail on the use of hand tools before mechanization took over.
