I was also in that area today. What struck me was how the ties were embedded - apparently some time back, concrete had simply been poured between them to make a solid roadbed (and it is now being taken up). I nabbed these shots that I hope should illustrate that - you can see the gaps between concrete chunks where the ties have been pulled up:
