  1. I did not know that track panels were used that long ago.

  2. Jakob, as most model railroaders would know, Atlas had snap track long before this. In all seriousness, it was a fast way to rebuild. Just roll up a gondola full of track panels and drop them in place. Not many guys wearing hard hats or orange vests back then.
