Fixing the rails



Judging by the clanking and the loud voices early in the morning as well as prolonged train horn blasts, I knew that there must be workers doing repairs on the railroad tracks.
I watched them move the heavy rails in place, and noticed that many of them were only wearing flip flops! I also noticed to older men sitting across from each other cutting the rail with a hacksaw! I can't imagine how long that was going to take.
Here are some pictures I took.
