Problematic Track         
KCS had a moderate derailment here late last week. I can imagine how this might have happened, as evidenced by the spots in the track where virtually no spikes held the rails to the tie on the field side of the rail. You can see the new panel track installed after the derailment, identified by the joint bars. But, things happen and you simply can't watch the whole railroad at once.

David Mead General Thank you for the technical explanation and detailing the possible problem with this picture. I cannot help noticing from your pictures that your tracks do seem well worn, in particular I note the split timber sleepers. 9/22/2007 1:57:29 AM
