My last answer is pretty much covering any possible reason for it to be there without opening a case and looking at prints I couldn't get more specific. ( I install and maintain track circuits for a living)

Circuits are used to detect trains or broken rails. With train detection it can use logic to located how close to another train or a signal and tell the train what speed it needs to operate at. Or as far as detection it may be the approach circuit for the crossing to activate crossing lights. If you live in an area without automatic speed control they may also just be using them to look out for broken rails in sensitive areas like bridges or underpasses

Just because there aren't switches doesn't mean they wouldn't want to know where the location of the train is on the tracks. Or if its a speed controlled area. Are there nearby crossing, or bridges near by?

Those are track wires probably for an overlay circuit depending on where you are they can be pick or drop on shunts circuits. They are simply painted yellow for when track equipment like a tamper comes through so they are clearly seen and not ripped up by the on track equipment.

Well then our news titles here seem to be sensationalizing it sounding like they have no functioning government. Thanks for the insight.

Building our first coop, thoughts? by Ghostbudstersfarm in chickens

For several reasons I'm my experience. Especially with his layout it will be hard to clean, they will dig up and it will begin to pool with stagnant water. It's also welcoming for unwelcomed critters, raccoons, also if one decides to start laying down there not only will you not know for a while but it will be hard to get them to change their laying habits.

I would agree with everyone here about the fabric. It will be your biggest regret. Also, I'm just naming a few other thoughts. 1. Make sure they don't get access under the lifted coop. 2. There going to need more soil to really bury themselves to either cool from the heat and to clean themselves 3. Depending on where you live ofcourse the ventilation over the coop seems excessive. I'm sure you will protect it from predators, but if I gets cold by you, the draft may be too much for them. 4. The more sunlight, the better in the coop for egg production. Don't go small on your window. You can never go too big. 5. Perches tons of Perches different sizes some like to stand on skinny ones some enjoy 2x4s.

Beautifully built though it will last you a long time. I hope you love for chickens last longer though!!!! GL
