Yes, train wheels remain in contact with the track at all times.
The tracks support the weight of the train. They also guide the train. The wheels are shaped such that the train remains balanced on them. Any slight movement of the wheels sideways is automatically corrected so that the wheels remains exactly on the middle of the rails.
If the wheels were not in contact with the track, the train would be flying.

Sure, make the train tracks from materials that (in total) are lighter (less dense) than water.

Why do people walk on the train tracks?
People walk on train tracks for different reasons. Some people walk on tracks because it's a shorter distance to get where they are going. Some people may walk on train tracks because they enjoy the quietness of the paths that the train runs along. We used to walk the tracks when I was a teenager because we picked the raspberries that grew along the train path.
