Hah, their "ABC" slogan is very fitting for this track but kinda ironic that one of the pressure hoses hangs down into the gravel.
Going at that speed is not very cost-efficient (except when the track is this bad). It would probably make sense to run a track repair machine over this! Video: http://goo.gl/45NChE

Good job this didn't include a slow-mo replay.

If I had a train there is no way I would take it down that piece of track. It could ruin my tyres.

I can't even see where this would be legal. This is just asking for a derailment and clean up.
*edit*
Actually according to this picture, it generally takes them 3 days to go the 15 mile stretch and the train usually derails twice per trip....

"The track, which runs over swamp ground for much of its length, is in an extremely poor state of repair, having had no maintenance for over 50 years.... .... The railroad was part of the bankrupt Indiana Hi-Rail."
Well, if you build rails on to swampland and don't do anything about it, it is almost surprise it's even in this condition.
