Are other units still affected by terrain if they are following a railroad?

"No effect" for other units if they are following a railroad, so they are still stuck in the terrain.

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.
