    Eyeballing it, that rail is the heavy 400 pound-per-foot stuff. Imagine how much inertia that rail has. Even at just a walking pace, it would go through a building like it wasn't even there.

    I am thinking this might be a type-o. In general main line rails are 100 to 120 lb Per foot Some of the long heavy coal routes are being upgraded to 140LB.
    Not saying there isn't any heavier rails out there but the heaviest I have ever seen was some 175LB per foot that we installed as crane rail at the Shuwaikh Port of Kuwait.
