When I used to work on pieces of track like this I always kept a close eye to make sure the rails went in the same direction at the same location.

Great reminder of the old days.

Officer: "I pulled you over on suspicion of drinking and driving".

Driver: "I'm a teetotaler, never touch the stuff!"

Officer: "OK, no train coming right now, so walk down this rail."

If that's 70 Mph track, then this is 90. The curves are smoother. hic
