anyone remember solar roadways?

This isn't nearly that dumb, because the train isn't actually riding directly on top of the solar cells.

It's close though, random shit gets dragged, kicked, dropped, etc all the time by trains.

A chain , cable, or wire comes loose on a car and goodbye panels and like all of them ...

They could pair that with sensors / cameras for hanging things. These are already being produced and installed on tracks.
