One more thing to clear up then your answer will satisfy me. Explain to me just how long it would take for all spikes to lift and separate from one tie plate. It would probably take considerable time being a shortline averaging 2 trains (4 passes) per day on average. And what's the chances of this condition not being observed and fixed before it got out of hand?
