>And your point? Why have a rock slide fence for a game that doesn't simulate disaster?

it is possible, and I've done this simulation (sort of) of in Stevens Pass route. It just makes scenarios more interesting.

Slide fence has wire grid connected to signal lights on both sides of guarded track section. If slide occurs, signal triggered to red.
In the game, it can be done with some dummy AI traffic holding the signal ahead of player train (that's how it was implemented in mentioned Stevens Pass scenario)

So why use stop signs for roads and supports for bridges? Signs won't stop traffic, and bridges don't need support in game. Without these and other supporting "actors", the route is nothing more than track and hills. *!rolleyes!*

by the way, who explored 'railfan' scenarios in FRC?

they quite interesting, although don't get much attention.
and you can move freely over the terrain in railfain mode , to choose different spots
