Heighth and weight of rails

Putting sidings lower than the main means that runaway cars cannot climb onto the main line and cause "problems". <br /> <br />I would think (key phrase... [;)]) that the heavier weight rail on the mains is there to take the pounding of cars moving at high speed. Much more twisting/pounding/stress than slow movements of cuts of cars in a yard. <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
