I have seen this many times before specifically i remember seeing it all the time at one of the Black mountain level crossings on the Norfolk Southern Rail line from Asheville to Marion and points east. I wondered if it was a good thing or not at the time.

jesus - for a new line it certainly isnt very good

Fascinating. I wonder how much of this the track and ballast can take before it needs attention. Maybe someone with technical expertise will tell us this is supposed to happen with these steele sleepers and heavy ballast?

This seems to me like the whole line needs packing.
