That's an interesting idea. What if the railroads installed PV panels
between the rails? That way, they never get driven on. The power they
produce can be fed to the rails to power the train.
It would not be difficult to have a "cleaner car" to clear the PV
panels of snow, ice, dust, or debris.
PS: Trains *are* able to tow a trailer with enough roof area to produce
all the power needed to run it!
