I was in El Paso, Illinois doing laundry and heard a train go by.

Since I just sitting goofing around waiting for the washer to finished, I decided to watch the train.

While I was watching I noticed the rails jumping up and down in one section. Also making lots of noise when hitting that section.

Did you know that you can add a patch to the rails? That’s what occurred on the rails outside of the laundromat. After watching the train, I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable riding the training or standing close. I keep thinking of the Ohio train that derailed and watching the movie “Unstoppable” with Denzil Washington.

See video below with rails patch and the rails moving up and down.
