Rhiow shrugged her tail, a little embarrassed. "I honestly don't know," she said. "I'm a worldgate technician, not an electrical engineer. I know the theory behind some of it, but as for the actual implementation, I couldn't tell you." She walked over to the rail opposite the one Daja was pulling up and perked her ears at it. Using a little wizardry couldn't hurt...

"Why are your atoms moving so slow?" she asked it, cajoling. "Why don't you speed up a little, shake out the rail ties and the couplings. Wouldn't this be a much better shape for you to take?" she asked, giving the rail a folded spiral shape in her mind. "Here's a little energy to do it with. Here, a little more. That's right-" The rail began to shake itself out of the gravel and curl backward, rolling itself up into a spiral. When it came to the joint in between it and the connecting piece, the rivets popped out and the coupling fell to the side, and then it stopped moving, laying curled on the ground.

Rhiow could already feel the drain on her resources. "I could do that another couple times if you need me to," she said.
