Just curious if this is Kudzu?  @davefoxx
I can't imagine the sensation the train crew must get running a train without being able to see ties or rail.

@wazzou,

Yep, that looks like kudzu to me, too.  That’s a great video!  I never expected a train that long over track like that.  Thanks for sharing!
