I think I'll try using an angle grinder on edge to score...How deep? I
have a section of rail that is probably 5-6' 


I was speaking with an old railroad retiree the other day. When he
started out, the method for cutting rails was to score them all the way
around with a large helved chisel and then smack the rail on the side,
resulting in a <poink>... one rail becomes two.

Thought that was pretty cool.
