I think that the patch itself is quite ok for what it does. The
question is can the railroad building be made in such uncontrolled
manner. I get the impression that this isn't acceptable. Somebody can
propose a condition which enable or disable the action. But I would
suspect that this would be very fuzzy. And it has to be shown that
this condition is correct.
