anyone remember solar roadways?

This isn't nearly that dumb, because the train isn't actually riding directly on top of the solar cells.

It's close though, random shit gets dragged, kicked, dropped, etc all the time by trains.

A chain , cable, or wire comes loose on a car and goodbye panels and like all of them ...

I don't why they don't overhang them on frames. It'd cost more upfront, but hell alot cheaper than replacing the broken panels all the time.
