"CSX Mainline Track Inspection – Rome to Syracuse – Department of Transportation and Federal Railroad Administration inspectors examined approximately 29 miles of track and nine switches along the CSX mainline between Rome and Syracuse. They found four critical defects, which were repaired immediately. These included having worn and broken tread portions of switch transition devices, and having less than two bolts per rail end at a joint in a continuously welded rail. They also found three non-critical defects, including loose switch rod bolts, loose guard rail bolts and loose bolts on a switch transition device."
