I think the biggest problem would be air flow caused by passing trains..
you would probably need to build a central wall to control it. This would
also make it much stronger.

No it wouldn't dennis.

A circular cross section is already as strong as it can be assuming
adequate wall stiffness to stay inside Euler instability criteria.


More BS.. that assumes uniform pressure, something you seldom get.
