Your picture is actually of active, well-used railroad tracks. Old unused tracks are rusty and weed-grown. If the rails are shiny it means that trains pass regularly and knock the rust off. If there's no weeds it's because the railroad actively sends out crews to maintain the tracks.
Damn, the railroad spawns its own crews for maintenance? That's crazy
I was just in Japan and even some of their active rail lines have huge 4 ft tall weeds growing in the rail yards
Weed control is a fairly new thing but not an environmentally friendly thing. Maybe Japan doesn't like spraying pesticide all around.
Wouldn't surprise me. In Germany the largest customer for Roundup/Glyphosate is DB, they spray that shit over around all rails.
So THAT'S what looked off... And reminded me of where I moved out of...
