If it would be possible to drive on a snake. It would be smoother

@oldwarrant4 What is the gauge of metal laid here? The rails seem noticeably thinner than typical European lines, although it may just be scale with a bigger train. Because of the longer distances in America, Australia and Africa, on some lines the rails and sleepers were laid to a lower standard. The locos tend to have a lot more wheels which reduces the axle load. Still, haven't seen anything quite this ropey, even 3rd world.

I don't know what you were doing back in 1975 but that's when I started my railroad career. I was in the mechanical dept. for 5 years before I went into engine service. I've been an engineer for 32 years now.

@PRR5406 If the photographer was driving on the interstate at 70mph the odds of him/her being injured or killed are far, far, far, far greater than standing beside this train as it rolled by.

@oldwarrant4 Your post is ample evidence of why you would never make a railroader. Those of us in the industry operate on track like this all the time. Some long industrial sidings can be much worse.

*MUST SEE*! This Is Why People Get Hit By Trains!?!by Tcostello105189,330 views
That's one of the nastiest pieces of track I've ever seen. I wouldn't take that at 10mph. They need to fix it and save themselves a lot of heartburn. Why that train didn't go all over the ground I'll never know.

@madmatt2024 Several times is a different story. And I'm not arguing that "fixing" the problem isn't the right thing to do. But a one time derailment at that speed will, in general, not be that expensive as long as nothing ends up on their side. This line at that time was full of many such areas and there just wasn't the budget to fix them all. So you fix them as best you can and hope, as in this case, that eventually there will be money to fix them all.
