I realize the rail in question is resting on standard rail holders, but I've never seen an installation as fancy as this one, with the crushed rock and tamped walkway all around, all with precisely trimmed edges.  A section gang with too much time on its hands?

That is just a rail holder. I grew up along the old GM&O west of Sparta, IL. They had these ever couple miles or so. Just a place to store a spare rail which would be easy to get when needed.
