As a former CSX manager I am in total disbelief that a private RR company would allow their tracks to even fall in this condition where it puts train crews and cargo at 90% of derailing. When I was working for CSX it cost one million dollars just to replace one mile of track. Replacing tracks is part of any RR operating cost. As you can see in the podcast the tracks are so far out of alignment I dont see how this train does not derail. The FRA and OSHA should have shut this RR down if the tracks are in this condition. On the other hand if these are SPUR tracks and belong to a company then I would immediately cease deliveries until the tracks are replaced.

As long as it holds gauge it's good, even if the engineer can reach out his window and pick flowers from the ground as it sways... Instead of wasting money (sarcasm) repairing track that's in working condition, they save money until it needs fixed when the wheels fall off the rails. Sadly a lot of terminals and short lines budget this way.

I think the most shocking part of this video is that the thumbnail was not photoshopped. I genuinely thought this was one of those videos where the thumbnail was a clickbait photoshop and the actual video would look nothing like the picture. I can't believe they would let freight trains travel over tracks that bad. I don't know why, but the way the first part of the video was filmed, all I could think about was the storming the castle scene from Monty Python's holy grail.
