Well....maybe not 60 but I certainly wouldn't be afraid to let the speeder group or a moderate size hyrailer over it. If the gage is tight from the warped rails just put in a double-ended gage rod to spread it to gage.
Good Lord...the girder strength of the rail alone is enough to safely carry the above referenced loadings until repairs can be made.
