@Axbent id think it would take some carfull pmanning cuz of the fact that if u simply laid some tracks with out
knowing anything of the location tracks ud plan to be laying down
if u did that then then it wont relly matter about the foundation work any how cuz of the fact is that it probly have the tracks flood-ed over and a steam loco be lucky to pass it so in most cases id thnk yes it probly tend to need that so then weather wont simply blow from where ever it is they were laid down it
