If your track was barely compliant and you actually tried to *run* 25 or 40 mph... your train might not derail, but the bouncing heaving train would beat the daylights out of your track structure. You'd be gouging ties, breaking joint bars... you'd go broke inside a month. For simple economic practicality, you must maintain to a higher standard.
