Bumpy track

I think they are pushing the spikes in too far…

I have seen several pictures like this over the years. I am not sure what causes the track to sag at the rail joints, I suppose that is where the most vibration occurs causing the ballast to sink. I have seen a few layouts where this effect was delibratly done, and while it looked good in pictures, overall, it just looked like poorly constructed track work.

A telephoto lens exaggerates this effect too.

Thanks Armin for the picture!
