@@heritagetransport4242 idk I've never really worked on the rails but from looking at them they are usually very nice and straight and I do think that tracks like this are very rare only appearing in places that lack the funds to make them straight.
They lay the tracks on the durango and silverton very old fashion with only a few tools to keep the rails straight and level with each other the back and forth is not a major issue because these trains are maxing out at 25 mph. I am pretty sure a lot of European trains run a lot faster and you need a lot higher track standards for those speeds. If you ever have a chance the FRA has standards for max speed relative to track condition.
The D&S runs a relatively straight forward timetable tourist operation more so for scenic opportunities than keeping time. So it's pretty normal for the condition of the rails to be this way on a tourist/heritage railroad. If you want a much better comparison I'd suggest looking at the many of the major US class I railroad systems
Miss u brother love u amazing video u need to teach me how to do that one day ❤❤❤
Love the video!

That Mann’s Creek Crosby 3 Chime on 480 sounds high pitched and sounds exactly like Dollywood 12!
Sir, that’s Baldwin 3 chime from my knowledge.
@@RioGrande486 my mistake
Jeez those tracks are really fucked up man
Do you guys in America not care about track kinks? Because in England they cause cancellations all over
