Often on wooden coasters, and most often CGI and Gravity Group ones from what I've seen, you come across sections where wooden planks have been placed facing forward instead of sideways in between the rails. Example (taken from Onride.de's POV of Heidi. The images have been cropped so the parts I'm talking about are in focus):
Sometimes they're one single line right in the middle of the track.
Other times they take up the entire space in between the rails.
So I mostly wonder, what purpose do these serve? Are they reinforcement against anticipated stress on the track? Do they somehow affect the speed of the train? I'd like to know.
