Flooding poses significant dangers to rail lines. Water can erode track beds, weaken foundations, and destabilize rails, leading to derailments and accidents. Additionally, submerged tracks hinder train control and braking, reducing operational safety. Flooding disrupts schedules, causing economic losses, and can harm the environment by contaminating water bodies with pollutants from rail cargo.
