Even some main lines doesn't have a elevated roadbed in places.
Right on Brakie, also if you are modeling an industrial switching layout in an urban environment, the drainage may well be located under ground much like what is found in the streets of a subdivision hence no visible drainage ditches just an open grate in the pavement.
