Solar panels between railway tracks? (www.euronews.com)

I'm all for putting solar panels all over the place, but won't these get dusty and oily and need loads of cleaning after trains pass over?

Also, costing €623,000 over three years sounds rather expensive for just 100m (although that roughly equates to 11KW).

I agree, there's so much land elsewhere. Even just beside the tracks would be better than between the tracks

This works in factorio really well

That could actualy have real world benefits, like when there are few trains, a special small train could go by and let maintenance people off/on there for example.
