What happened / happens? I've always wondered.

I guess the rock gets crushed?

What about trams, where the rails are instead submerged in a "crack" in the ground?

We did dumpster diving too and playing with fire :-)

Thanks! Amazing that the trains are that hard to derail, and that's back in the 1940's
