The problems in France of SNCF brings up this question.
The following link shows the cables in just some kind of raceway. it appears that covers are just off the raceway. That IMO makes the cablers very vulnerable. Are the cables running between bungalows, signals, switches and other items? I remember seeing PRR on the NEC had same but do not know if Amtrak no longer does that?
Around here on all RRs all cables are buried with none in a raceway. Suspect that European RRs and any iin the US will take a long study of this raceway practice.

What is the likelyhood that the picture shown is just a 'stock' photo used just to illustrate the article and not any actual SNCF installation.

AT&T does this via its' buried Fiber here in Texas going to residences. They have a concrete box with lid for access every so often but all the Fiber Optic cables are in a bunch. Just walked past one yesterday with the lid off and looked in. This is residential fiber to the home though and the underground conduit is for several subdivisions vs just one.
