Well the reason that the ice started cracking was because of an incredibly specific series of events, making it rare he'd ever do this normally. However, in a way that makes this more impressive as this may be his first time drifting a train and he is killing it.

[@tovarishchfeixiao]

@@CurledRuby85 Well, the cracking just made it into an emergency crisis. The railways still can be similarly frozen more commonly than you think. So maybe this is not the first time to make these moves, but maybe the first to being in emergency situation.

[@Unhinged_Pegasus69]

The moment before the train hit the frozen lake, the conductor said that the ice froze over the tracks, so there was probably a bridge under there that went across the whole lake, the ice made impossible to use though. So this was a *very* rare occurrence.
