Rails by themselves have no rigidity at all. In a normal track, rigidity comes from the sleepers, and the ballast or concrete in which sleepers are housed. Of course, here, it looks like everything has been built on a soft terrain, and/or not maintained at all during decades.

Joe is correct, the Blomberg truck can handle extremely rough track. Most have no idea how they are built and why they are so good. Short line RR's don't have millions of $ laying around for new ties.
@Jack_rabbits_sage_brush
Жыл бұрын
That is true. But they can, over time, replace the ties. Instead of doing whole miles worth, just do short sections at a time. Start off with the worst areas and then work your way out. I would go into Barns yard in Portland OR for the BNSF RR to the UP yard. I would tell the Hog head to stop the movement, and then I would get off and walk the track until I got to a point where it was safe, and then turn around, and restart the movement, watching the shove from a stationary point. I refused to rid on the side of the cars in that yard. The Yardmaster there would get all pissed off because of how much time it was taking to put away a transfer. I would tell him OVER THE RADIO, when you replace these ties, I will ride the cars. I did that for a reason. It is recorded and if someone gets hurt, there is now proof the RR knew about it. The old adage "Being Railroaded", where do you think that came from? The entire mess that we are in this country is because of the RR called UP. Yes, all of your towns have a ZIP code. Which is a Zone Improvement Plan. It was a devised scheme the UP came up with to compensate the workers for putting down the transcon RR. If they worked hard, they got land. And it was land along the RR tracks. The Peysuer Trust is what owned all of it. And that is also where we got our FBI, which came from the henchmen of the Pinkertons who were the strongarms for the RR. It is a good rewarding career, but forewarned, they do Railroad you................literately.......

One of the problems is it probably has only one business it services on a track that could be a couple miles away. Maybe even farther. And that business only gets one car every six months maybe. To fix that track is cost prohibitive. I know someone that worked for the railroad. When he first started about 20 years ago they had a customer like that. They couldn't go more than a couple miles an hour on that track. One time they had to stop and get a car tire and a wooden pallet of the track. They had no idea how it got there. It was several hundred feet in the woods.

Over here this track would qualify as a narrow gauge field railway, not a full blown standard gauge railway and the loading gauge/train length for standard gauge is far smaller than in North America. If a standard gauge railway line would look like that, it would be closed down already for safety reasons and railway lines looking far better than this are torn up all the time over here!
