I think CN needs to quit speeding on this line at night, otherwise this will continue to happen. LOL!

Are you sure this is a crack? If they have welded rail in this area it may be an expansion joint. Long strips of welded rail rail need expansion joints otherwise the summer heat can cause them to swell and kink leading to derailments.
