This must have happened not long after I left town. I had shot at the SCRF yard, then caught a local in Darlington with the #75 leading, then reversed direction to head home the same way I came in. This train was on the main line near the Nucor plant. I've wanted to shoot from here, but never got around to asking permission to be there. Nice timing though.

Well I guess if your gona run trains over track like that, your asking for trouble. Looks like all that was holding those rails was some dirt halfway up the web!

Those tracks don't look fit to be used!!! Great photo.

Those tracks don't look fit to be used because the railroads have to maintain their own track and still pay taxes. While trucking companies run on government maintained roads and pay taxes to maintain their roads. So small railroads like this might not have the money to maintain great track like Class I railroads. Great shot by the way.

Great timing, something like this could possibly make or break a shortline, now they're forced to do something with that track.
