Dude, those are concrete sleepers. They didn’t get laid until after the rail consolidation (aka Robber Barons move into the Oil Biz) phase of American history was complete, and the FedGuv had already been saddled with the accumulated fail of a hundred plundered railway systems.
So, any rail line that’s out of use, and has concrete sleepers, is pure FAIL, and probably a MULTI MILLION DOLLAR FAIL.
Not a fail.
When the track isn’t used anyway, and it costs to much to remove, it’s cheaper to pull out a few beams.

Unless the rails are in the UK and this is just a short disused shunting line in a switching yard…
You fail.

Not necessarily fail. Just looks like a line of abandoned track that nobody could be assed to dig up.
