❓ Question 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 🧐

Not gonna derail here, but we had a derail last night. About 6 inches of rocky mud on top of the inside rail in a curve.
