It's amazing when you look at the same issue in my town.. <br /> <br />Most of the bridges are steel reinforced concrete,...and the ones belonging to NS are kept in a fairly decent state of repair. Some of those have had MAJOR rebuttressing/ reinforcement done in the past several years, and reflect a "solid as a rock" impression when you look at them <br /> <br />The ones belonging to CSX are entirely the opposite...Major spauling, exposed, rusting re-bar everywhere, and many of the steel handrails along the pedestrian sidewalks gone, rusted off at the stumps... <br /> <br />And, you see pretty much the same thing, when you walk the rails "topside" CSX: neglected switches, rotted ties, ballast filled with dirt and mud,...rust everywhere.... NS: evidence of lubrication on the switches, new looking de-icers on most switches, decent to "new" looking ties, noticeably clean ballast, and freshly painted signal poles.... Most of it looks like it could have been put in new, within the last 5-15 years
