European trainsets are intended to operate on European trackage. Most grade crossings are separated and those that are not have protecting gates. The rail is all welded and uses concrete ties. European freight trains are much lighter and therefore cause less wear and tear on the tracks. European trainsets are "bulked up" to meet the demands of our more varied ROW and conditions.
