A lot of European countries do not permit continued use of rail infrastructure while being serviced as it can be quite dangerous. [1]

Switzerland is an exception to this but it results in extremely complex infrastructure projects with of course a much higher cost and more accidents. However having the infrastructure available in many cases prevents overall economic losses due to less trains etc.
