WARNING:
This image was extensively modified before it was published. The proportions of the track in the foreground are wrong (ratio of total sleeper/tie length to 3 ft 6 in track gauge), the sleepers are too small (depth and width) and too close together, and some have been rendered white on their ends. The track in the middle distance (central area of the image) seems to be entirely the work of a human hand. It is difficult to say whether the most distant track in the photo has been significantly touched up or not, although the sleepers have been. The conclusion is that while track has been known to be "corkscrewed" by floodwaters on the Central Australia Railway, the extent to which it was portrayed in the original photograph is in doubt; the track may not have been corkscrewed as many times as the modified image suggests. (This description reults from an analysis of the image by a former South Australian Railways civil engineer.)
