Rail tracks are such a neat thing, they need to give some but they have to keep the 2 rails perfectly parallel and distance from each other, as they flex up and down or side to side.
That is a such a telling picture of the quake line. The ground in front sheared a little over three feet to the right as it shoved away from us. If you look at the pic nearly flat you can sight down the tracks and see they moved almost but not quite the width of the tracks.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
