The new continuous rail makes for a more comfortable ride because you don't have the noise from running over the joints. Continuous rails also do not have fish plates (metal splices that hold the sections together) that will loosen up so there is less maintenance.

Would it be possible to build a train track that floats on water?

Sure, make the train tracks from materials that (in total) are lighter (less dense) than water. Presumably you want the train tracks to support a train as well; in that case, the weight of a certain piece of train tracks, plus the total weight of the train, should be less than the weight of the water displaced by the train tracks.

Why is that a maglev train is faster than a normal train?

Maglev trains are faster than normal trains because they use magnetic levitation to reduce friction between the train and the tracks, allowing them to reach higher speeds. Additionally, maglev trains do not have wheels, which eliminates the rolling resistance experienced by traditional trains on tracks.

If your car is stuck on the train tracks and a train is approaching get out of the car and run?

Yes - and run away or toward direction train is coming from, if necessary. A train will crush the car, and may push it into other objects or plow it down the tracks, with the train taking anywhere from 500 feet to more than a mile to stop even after the collision. If you are in the car you will be severly injured or killed.

Why buses stop at railroad tracks?

Buses stop at railroad tracks to ensure that trains are not close by. Buses are longer than cars and therefore need more time to get across the tracks.
