You can also add to that:
If the original derailment didn't cut the cable, the subsequent
construction surely would.
The cable buried is an afterthought, rail repair crews will undoubtedly
bulldoze things flat and straight, bring in fill and push the debris to one
side, and get the ballast and

Conduit is typically used along the entire length of most railway builds I
have seen.
Most recent railway builds have been multi conduit projects with up to 12 x
1.5 inch HDPE conduits plowed in by rail mount

In the past few years on NANOG, I've noticed a strong correlation between
train derailments and network outages. (Not to discount the backhoe
correlation in any way of course...)
The question I have is this:
If fiber runs are trenched into the railbed, and we know that trains
go off of the trac
