Has anyone bumped into this bug recently?

Yep, big WTF

No. I've never hit that bug, but I've seen multiple videos of people hitting some form of it. As I understand it, at some point in story mode, rails get placed in an area where there aren't yet rails in online (online takes place a year before story mode). You can see how the trees have been felled here in preparation for the rails. In any case, because of that, the game has to have multiple versions of some parts of the map, and clearly, it sometimes gets confused somehow and thinks that there are rails where there will be rails later but aren't now, and it uses them. So, you end up with the train driving on normal ground and through trees.

IIRC, I've also seen videos where the train appears out of nowhere on the invisible tracks and hits someone. But I don't think that bugs related to the future tracks are super common, which makes it kind of hard to know if it's fixed unless they put it in the patch notes, and I don't think that they have.

Oh yeah thats right the rails get finished later on that explains why the train did that :O
