Let's continue our exploration! The weather is better today!
Why do you think there are some sections where the tracks and sleepers are gone (eg. near the shrine at the end) ? Stolen by the locals? That is what happens in Australia. The tracks are cut up for fence posts.
You are safer on the tracks than walking along that road at the end.
