Ok!

Awesome content!

Ohpiss

Richard Simmonds is probably straighter than those tracks

Lol😂😂😂😂 ya noodels also straight......

If u look at the freight yard that definitely looks like a roller coaster

Why tf are you so wise?

Or how a 200 ton sewer pipe with wings flys higher than birds

Or how metal in the shape of a toaster with spinning rubber rings go faster than horses

Or how a giant shoebox with a triangle front can be moved on water

More like 100 year old track

It looks like the road in Radiator Springs the first time Lightning McQueen paved it! I'm guessing that the revenue generator on this line went bust decades ago.

Toy rails are straighter than this (railroads at home)

@@GamingRailfanner I am the 137th lol

Googling the name on the side of the locomotive says the company is based in Kansas, so I would guess it's somewhere in the American Midwest.

This is the Rock Island Railroad down in Mississippi. They bought that engine recently. The track has since been replaced.

@@Nikon_Rails Good. As someone who's working to be a railway design engineer, looking at the state of this track gives me extreme anxiety.

The abandoned former B&M rails in Danvers are waaaaay straighters

@@rainbowrailroadcrossing7798 literally

i can believe it. this is what small government, free market governance aka USA looks like. a disaster

Wake me up, wake me up inside SAVE MEEEEE

You see the train is so MASSIVE air just forced the tracks to conform.

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. One video to illustrate the flacidity of rails: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbx5oZaYv7rbgaM.html

Sad how some railroads operate that way. This one will be laying new rail in the near future.

How do they rerail trains anyway

@@thenthson By lifting it up with a crane

@@kevin12567 makes sense.

@@HODMEChannel depending on if the rails themselves are damaged you can get a special train that lifts the tracks and puts new fill under them. But chances are if the tracks in that poor condition all the sleepers are done for and need replacing anyway.

As a Louisiana native, I share your pain 😔

But it's still better than the roads in hungary...

József Nagy Oh don’t even get me started about how some roads look in eastern Europe. Most roads here in Romania, for example, were built and maintained during the socialist era... but after 1990 no one bothered to maintain some of them so they look like some ancient cracked rock formations after 30 years.

@@wes5150. Reminds me of the PC (later ConRail) tracks I used to enjoy watching trains rock & roll on as a kid. You could pull the spikes out by hand! Line was completed in 1854, ran from Zanesville to Cincy. Mid to late 70s it became a bike trail.

@@yafuker6046 When I was there yes, you could pull a lot of spikes out by hand. Being very native to So Calif and durring their Winter when you went to 'Place' a spike you really couldn't see the Tie, and when you pounded on it it felt like you were 'Driving' the spike but come Spring I'd notice the spikes I had driven into the dirt. Well, at least it held while things were frozen. One winter there and I was on my way back to Sunny So Calif. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. A 'Sentimental' journey for both of us.

@@wes5150. One more brief anecdote: About 10 yrs. before pulling those rails, there must've been a derailment somewhere, because they diverted a pretty long train pulled by two U-25s onto these tracks and I thought, mygod, I hope those tracks can take it! I was maybe 12 at the time.

Restricted speed the entire way till they hit the brand new track that is 25MPH. New rail, ties and ballast will go in one the locations I filmed within the next couple years.

I wouldn't want to go 5 mph on that track. Lol

It’s Mississippi

Thank you for watching!

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.......

shortline that I railfan about to drop a mil to fix a bridge 😭

Trust me, having passenger trains going through this at a slow speed (obviously to avoid accidents) would be really fun. Who doesn't need an experience of off tracking trains 😂❤️

We would certainly concur with your comment.

Track has seen better days with almost no maintenance in the past 40 years till now.

Shortline 614 Lots of work is being done to the railroad as fast as they can do it with little man power. The plan is within the next two years is to extend the new track all the way to Clarksville. The previous owners as you mentioned did not do little to any track work at all as you can see in the video. Glad to see the railroad in new hands.
