Best Answer

They don't. They have no positive effect on the natural environment. The negative effects are attracting wildlife to grain spilled from grain cars and subsequent deaths by train-wildlife collision, disrupting wildlife migration routes, disrupting stream flows and fish breeding areas with trestle construction, and pollution caused by oil and similar spills.
