Here you can get a really good idea of how wooden coaster track is made on site. Each 'rail' is a stack of wooden boards, with the top two boards overhanging by a few inches to facilitate the upstop wheels that keep the trains secured to the track. On the top and inner edge of this stack is a steel strip that the train's steel wheels ride on to minimise wear to the wood.
