How to clear it
Burn each nest with a Molotov or other fire, throwing from a distance with an exit open. Burning a nest draws the Freakers around it, and daylight means fewer of them are out. Railcars and sheds along the line block your view, so check them before you throw.
Why bother
Until the nests are gone, fast travel through this area stays blocked. Its Diamond Lake payout is among the best for an infestation.
Watch out
The rail line Horde lives along the same tracks. Clear the nests in daylight so you don't fight both at once.
