      It’s pretty normal for many different species to use game trails. Sometimes game trails become human trails. Some of those become roads. Some of those became railroads. There’s at least some chance there’s modern rail along an old dino path. In an abstract and kind of obtuse way, there may be a sort of dino rail still around.

          Alright, but I don’t want to sugar coat it. It’ll be a long, difficult journey. It’s doable, though, and the rewards will be substantial. First off, money is tight. We’ll probably have to start with green anoles on HO scale trains just to make the market and create at least some demand. However, I’m confident we can have monitor lizards on 1:8 scale by 4th quarter 2027. With any luck we’ll be running full scale standard gauge rolling stock with Utahraptors by early 2031.

        There‘s literally 0% chance because the earth itself shifted and stretched making any dinosaur path stretched, disjointed or otherwise grotesquely disfigured.

        I like the idea though
