Yeah, sounds like something a real rail company might do, actually.

Amazing. Reminds me of a joke:

The first worker digs up the road,
The second worker fills up the hole.
A passerby asks them: "Why are you two digging then filling up the holes? It makes no sense!"
One of the two workers: "Well, the guy that lays the pipe hasn't arrived yet."

Probably butchered it during translation, but you get the gist of it.
