> You can't plant trees in a rail yard.

Why not?

Seen what a tree can do to a sidewalk?

You can step over or walk around cracked and buckled concrete.

Trains don’t appreciate having their rail ballast disturbed.

		I think trains are ok with trees. I checked satellite view - there are a lot of rail tracks in Chicago going directly along tree lines. The rail yards indeed look like tracks on concrete with nothing else, but when I look at German ones - there are trees and bushes.

The trains have a bad habit of hitting them.
