It is possible to make an anvil shaped object (ASO) from railroad
rail. The problem is that it will not function as an anvil. Anvils
have a hardened face to allow for the proper rebound when striking
work on the anvil and keeping it from being dented by the occasional
missed blow. Rail is a work hardening steel that forms a hardened
face from the work the rail car wheels impart to the rail by rolling
over it. To grind, or machine the rail to look like an anvil removes
that hard case and leaves a soft surface. So while a rail ASO might
be slightly better than the cheap Asian cast iron ASO's that are
found in places like Harbor Freight it is still an ASO.
