They are used so that the railway track doesn't compress or move, and stay's the same so the train doesn't squash the track.
Solids, particularly steel, are used for railway lines due to their high strength, durability, and ability to withstand heavy loads and dynamic forces from trains. Steel rails provide a smooth and stable surface for trains to run on, reducing wear and tear on both the tracks and the trains themselves. Additionally, solid materials resist deformation and fatigue, ensuring the safety and efficiency of railway operations over time.
