Measuring the Curve         
To know which size frog to use on a curve you've gott'a know what the curvature is. Take a 62 foot (Actually 61'8" according to Camp's "Notes on Track") string and strech it along the rail. The number of inches from the mid point of the string to the rail is the curvature in degrees. In this case we made 3 measurements and averaged them. /DL
