Wow, the rust on those supports is nasty.
I don't think that's rust. That's corrosion.

Corrosion = Rust, Rust is just a form of Corrosion.

Thank you sir!! I love how everyone is a professional.. Now I have a question for a licensed engineer.. What happens to rubber when it gets cold? You know like the rubber that might or might not be used for suspension on Arrow and Vekoma looping roller coaster trains..

The rubber that may/may not be used in the suspensions becomes extremely hard and brittle, and it does shrink to a marginally smaller size.

ding ding ding.. Now your suspension is hard and doesn't compress like it should and I would think that you have a rougher ride. Am I wrong??

Exactly what I thought!
But on to the topic: Wasn't there a track piece replaced about four years ago? I thought I heard there was a lot of rust damage, and it was falling apart.
