    That’s some serious ice layers if it not only derails a train but supports its weight over to the road.

      The contact patch of the wheels on a train is roughly 90,000 PSI of vertical pressure. You need a lot of ice to derail a train.

      I’ve seen a documentary about a train making a year long route around the entire world during ice age and it was still able to break though the ice. This is just bad engineering.
