You know what? Thats a very dangerous part of the track to be. You see those joints -- they can move anytime and hold someone's feet.

@Shuva Brata Deb: Thank you for you concern, but the wonderful wonderful thing about these tracks are that they're rarely in use since it's so incredibly old. :) It's now only used for tourists, so it's a huge event to even have one train running on that track, to the point where when one comes, there's a lot of excitement. That switch is functional, but I doubt it's been used in at least five years. It's the reason why I was able to get so many shots of the track. There were actually so many people walking around on the track that it got in my way whenever I wanted to snap off a shot.
