    I Don't Think This Is Going To Work

    It appears to the human eye that they have laid down ramps for the train to go over.   But in reality i think all they are doing is using the 'ramp lookalike things' to shield them self from getting electrocuted. That is all. I think they are in the shape of a ramp is a coincidence.
