I had the top of a giant dead digger pine come down on my 13" gauge railroad a couple of years ago. The big branches came down and speared the track. It broke two of the rails (the rails are wood similar to strap iron rail, but no metal on top.) I had clear all the braches out of there replace the rails and regrade where the branches landed. I wasn't able to get some of the braches out of the ground so there is part of a tree branch a couple of inches under the road bed. I have had a couple of oak trees fall over the line, but none of them did anything to the track. I have a oak tree right now that broke at the base and is leaning up against a another oak tree on the other side of the track. I have to duck down under it or other wise I run my head into it, which I did once moving a pushing my ballast car down the line.
