The engineer can't see if the tracks are washed out. But, even if it is very shallow and he can see the tracks, the steel wheels will have little traction on the steel track when they are wet. Also, the electric traction motors on diesel and electric locomotives would short out and destory themselves if they were flooded with water, making the train powerless to move. Steam locomotives could go into flooded water up to the bottom of their firebox, but why take the chance with such pricey equipment.

How does Maglev run during winter?
Maglev trains are designed to operate in cold weather conditions during winter. Special heating systems are in place to prevent ice or snow buildup on the tracks, ensuring that the trains can maintain their speed and efficiency even in low temperatures. Additionally, the maglev technology reduces friction between the train and the tracks, which helps to minimize any impact that cold weather might have on the train's performance.
