OK Rails are are for trains, however so are railroad Tracks, some old roads or trails are also called Tracks. Steam engines have rods, some cars are hot rods, a dragster might be called a "rail", curtains hang on rods.
Enough of that, have fun :connecting ROds and Rails"

The problem with your "playing" is that the train is coming from the wrong direction {tracks curve from the left, but train is coming from the right} and gauge of tracks at that point is obviously much smaller than gauge of the train.

OK, here is one from three months ago, at Greenfield Village in Dearborn MI, showing both the locomotive's rods and some extra rails.
