Being a former brakeman I see a major safety hazard that would get a MOW foreman in hot water and maybe a unpaid vacation..
The stack of rails is to close to the rail and in the work zone where the switchman would be working and at night with nothing more then your Starbrite lantern you may not see the rails when you swing off a car,trip over the rail,and under the car you go or you could get knock off the car's stirrup and end up injured..Its that easy..
No big thing..Its a common mistake modelers make.
