I get, unfortunately, the politics of it but let's just assume it was going thru a farmer's field, why couldn't it be elevated? If the tracks are simply heated to make sure there was no ice and/or snow on them, why can't they run outside?

I'd think the bigger concern outdoors is that the concrete runway be heated - not just the tracks.
