Slowly. Derailment waiting to happen.

(Although use of a telephoto lens makes track look worse than it really is, that still looks pretty bad.)

The cross ties look like busted up toothpicks, and at the crossing, it looked like nothing was attached.

If no hazmat and slow enough, no real,public threat. FRA track inspectors will get them sooner or later though.

It's crazy looking at that track. NS just put down new track in front of the base where I work. They had the main crossing blocked a few times. I'll give them credit, the roadbeds look like a million bucks.
