How the hell did that stay on the rails?

Physics.

Good driver ?

If it came off the tracks nowadays, They would likely fire the Engineer for incompetence. "We have always done it that way with no problems."

[I.M. OUTAHEREParticipant @i-m-outahere]

The driver must have a set on him i tell ya !

[Ady1Participant @ady1]

Just like after air raids during the war with bits of wood and brick holding the tracks up

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

My first though t was exaggeration by foreshortening, but no…

I think the cuts hide the driver coming out and taking a long stare at the tough bits.

And the answer is 'because he went very, very slowly'

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

Presumably this sort of track is only used a few times a year? I expect the cost of the occasional excursion to get a gang to re-rail a loco is less than re-laying teh track, even with rail that seems to have been borrowed from the Talyllyn.

Neil, it was done using 'super slow-mo', the actual speed was 150mph….. with his eyes closed.
