You're right - that track needs some repairs. I took a look out near Earlsboro and there are even trees growing between the rails and the street crossing have been paved over. However, that is good for me because the major expense is right-of-way acqusition and since this line isn't used there is no freight traffic to deal with. I only considered using single car DMUs anyhow so it isn't like it would need to support HSR.
