A tree wouldn't even be able to grow, because the ground under the grass is super thin. There's a thick layer of concrete under that grass.

Ah, didn't know that. I guess they need to fertilize the soil occasionally to get some lost nutrients back in?

Most rail areas where I am have gravel except at road crossings, so I extended that to "if you don't have gravel, it must just be dirt". :)
