trains can actually get through that. They are heavy, made to get wet, and get their power either from a locomotive or overhead wires.

Obviously they have to move a bit more cautiously, and you will have platforms that you may\may not want to use.

It will get a chance to freeze because there will be trains moving through too often.

The return power for electric trains with overhead catenary actually goes to the tracks for grounding so not that simple as it seems.

Stop and think about how that works for a second.

Why don’t you take a swim in that water when an electric train comes through. You’ll be doing everyone else a favor with that snarky comment
