Thread Name: What is a 'Jimmy John'? (Gandydancer's Ball)
Subject: RE: What is a 'Jimmy John'?
E. Michael.......a frog is part of a switch and must line up perfectly and therefore must also be "tamped" into position at the right angle and height. Go back to a previous post of mine and you'll also see that the Gandy DANCING probably first came from the "shovel dance" needed to backfill ballast under ties.
