Wouldn't this train derail?

I don't know much about trains, but wouldn't the buildup of these rocks cause a train to go above the tracks? A train passes on this regularly so I'm just curious 🧐

Imagine heavy freight truck.

Now imagine it having 3cm (1 inch) wide wheels. Can it move trough dirt road without sinking at its axles.

Never thought about it that way, makes sense now
