Look out the front of the train I think the tunnel shifts just a bit so the track has tooIt looks like it, although it seems to be a short, sharp shift. Although it sort of begs the question of why the tunnel seems to shift. I assume that they had some good reason to do it, unless it was just an oops that once done wasn't worth correcting. I wonder if they could've shaved the tunnel walls to straighten out the track but the trains don't go fast enough to make it of any safety concern. Yes the speeds are quite low, since the incline is quite steep, and trains already reduced speed to clear the timed signals on the downgrade. |
