pretty much every track has been replaces many times since then
Of course! But the way they’re laid hasn’t, something about flat curves that would take a lot of money to incline so instead they built inclining trains. It’s not my argument, just something I read. If you think it’s nonsense I’d like to know why.
Huh, kinda makes sense how all the funding goes to roads. If it’s everyone speeding or going too fast for the road design, they’ll have to spend more to make the roads safer. If trains are going too fast for the railroad, they only have to replace the conductor to keep the train from derailing. No need to improve the design.

This is indeed the reason why super fast trains have not happened in the UK.
Where I live (Slovakia) the line I use to get to school has been here since 1880ish. SINCE 1907 it rides 120km/h it hasn’t sped up for 118 years LOL.

the corners are banked, but they’re too sharp so you need to tilt even more to get through comfortably at high speed.
