Was it that the rail out of position because of the position it was embedded in or out of position because the pre-curving wasn't done properly to specifications?
Apologies for the lack of construction knowledge, but exactly what is the fix here?
Aren't all the tracks welded together now? How do you just fix one section of track without affecting the two end points of where everything is in alignment?
Won't they have to cut the troubled section out, remove the entire curve, and put it or a new piece back in the right position? Do they just heat it up and bang in to position?
It interesting that this was not caught before. I know I saw them checking that curve before. It was right around the time the had to shave off and re-pour some of the platform edges. Is it even possible with all the reinforcing that something simply heaved in the cold weather?

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
