911563 Dedicated high speed rail line in Germany used by ICE trains. Photo from the engine of an ICE train shows the train on a viaduct leading to a tunnel. Keeping high-speed lines as straight as possible sometimes requires considerable engineering work.

This is what well-built and well-maintained high-speed track should look like. Notice the thick layer of well-groomed ballast supporting the track, with its welded rail and concrete ties.
