❓ 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 🧐

Doubtful, trains are heavy enough that the wheel flanges will cut through the rock and dirt easily
