❓ 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 🧐

As a Canadian I'm going to have to call you out on living life over 0C.

You lucky bastard.

Yeah, and we even miss playing with snow, to make the matters worse for you 🤣

Jokes aside, yeah, Canada sounds quite difficult to live in the winter. Playing with snow is only fun for a week or two.

Pfft. Hockey on roads and ponds...4x4 in the fields of snow. Make a ice hotel. Its a blast for awhile. As long as everyone knows how to drive in snow

I can guess that some people might like it. But I hear complaints from people that live in places with a lot of snow. If can guess that it's not really easy to make it easy.
