If you build a train track across a strike slip fault, like the San Andreas or Hayward faults, and an earthquake occurs along the fault – the train track will no longer be contiguous. The train will fly off the track at 200 miles an hour, killing everyone within a mile or two.
Look what happened to this fence in the 1906 earthquake.
