[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4017929, member: 26737"] Some of them have, but some have stayed on top of the maintenance. My uncle spent his career doing right of way maintenance for the BNSF, and I’ve seen lots of evidence of the railroads doing the maintenance in Oklahoma. I’ve also seen videos of rails that would curl your hair. There’s one I saw a few years back (in Alabama or Mississippi, IIRC, but owned by a Canadian railroad) where the train was wobbling so much that it had to crawl along. If it had been stick rail instead of modern ribbon rail, it sure as shootin’ would’ve been a derail, as the rails were the only thing holding it all together. [/QUOTE]
