Why not just build the tracks on the ground? Isn’t this a huge waste of time and resources?

it's so you can't show them your dick as they ride by.

It’s less disruptive in more heavily populated areas to build it that way instead of tearing up the ground and rebuilding things around it.

chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo

better long term investment this way

cuz its gotta be flat as fuck boi
easier than grading hella

This but unironically

Based choo choo enjoyer

Makes it easier to poop

the ground isn't level

them grounds be bumpy and shiet yo, yt ppl be balancing they rails on cement structures to keep they trains from getting too spicy

With the track elevated like that, there are no crossings where cars have to stop, and there is also no risk of a car stalling on the tracks.
Britain used to build elevated railways through London like that, back when it was a real country.

It's because the earth is round.

ruin the environment by slicing it in two with a train tracks

Why not just fuck off back to israel, how about that?

Round like a pizza

Because the terrain while get flooded.

The environment loves it.

regular trains are on the ground, that is a high speed line a.k.a. a bullet train. Stupid fucks run signals and animals DNGAF so they use an elevated track to control conditions as much as possible.

keeps groids and gypsies out of the way

Who here believes in the cartoon-based anti-science jewish globe myth?

I like pizza.

What about discs in "space"?

Pizza is the awesomest.

reducing grade crossings is key for high speed

But it also looks like shit. If it’s so great, then why don’t all countries do this with their trains.

in nihon, the shincancents (gun subway) is worshipped like a sky dragon blessing the people. unlike in india, where the earth dragons every day greedily devour sacrifices.

This way if kids want to put a washing machine on the tracks, they really have to want it.

less noise pollution

less square footage footprint

less dead animals

less crossings and intersections with traffice

looks cool as fuck

fuck you op, elevated train tracks are the fucking shit. kill yourself.

the United States built entire car highways this way

Why not use long arches instead of a gazillion colums?

high speed rail requires straight and level, as an american you should understand the requirements of rai.. oh. nvm.

A railway can't have too much gradient on it meaning you require a lot of bridges and tunnels to go places.

Morons can't drive or walk on the tracks like morons.

Even on this elevated platform people will jump under it to die. At least no cars tho

Yeah, it's a valley and the viaduct is to keep the grade level and being out of the way is a fringe benefit.

Why not just make bridges over roads and leave it flat otherwise?

You autists should know this shit, along with what 4-8-8-4 means. Bonus points if you can tell the difference between a Climax and a Shay.

This is a fake image but I've actually been here. It's a big cole flower field and it's peaceful as hell, but the citizens are literal medieval peasants walking around with no shoes and no teeth. It's kinda funny that the country peasants often live the best lives you can possibly live in China. Even out there though you can't drink the tap water which is fucked up.

well majority of regular rail tracks were built 100+ years ago they wouldn't have to deal with high density populations. Don't bring up thirdies either because they don't have the funds nor IQ to build them elevated in the present.

Not really does two miracles one never having impending traffic and leveling the road

high speed rail requires straight and level, as an american you should understand the requirements of rai.. oh. nvm.

has american flag

OP pic literally shows the rail line curving 45 degrees and descending downwards

fly your real flag kike
