Properly installed and maintained track should not move up and down as the train passes over it.

Track moving up and down as train goes over..

Is the track designed to move up and down as a train goes over? What would be the reason for that? I've noticed that on some stretches the track is perfectly rigid while on others  there's quite a bit of flexing.
