I remember GEVs on railroads coming up in the edits, and some rationalization for why GEVs and not tanks. I don't recall any discussion of sparing any units the terrain penalty without a bonus. (I argued against giving GEVs that bonus, so best not to go by just my memory.)

It would change Breakthrough.
Where it gets confusing is from 2.03.3:
Note that any unit can cross a railroad bridge.
If any unit can use a railroad bridge to negate terrain (stream or river, etc) then why can't it negate other terrain? I get why you wouldn't get a road bonus, but it's still effectively a clear space through the terrain.
