OPTIC Rail Lines

You obviously haven't read the previous posts. The idea was to have only the rails be guarded by world guard. There would be 8 different protected regions.

what is the point of protecting the lines if people cant place a minecart on them?

*facepalm*
Didn't you read the post above?!

And you need protection so none griefs this HUGE rail line.
There will be stations where you can get on and off.

Ok, since people don't like reading long threads like this one to get up to date with things (totally understandable, I don't want to read 50+ posts in a thread to know what people have been saying), I will recap what's up.
So the issue at hand is protection.
What has been discussed?
Well the argument is this couldn't get protection because the whole map would have to be protected. WRONG. I would simply have 8 or 9 perfectly straight segments of minecart tracks which form the square tracks going around the map. Only the track segments (no blocks below, above, or to the sides of the tracks) would be protected. The minecart stations also wouldn't be protected by project protection. Now there would need to be 8 or 9 different project protection regions made, but that's a lot better than the hundreds required to protect the tracks with coal ores.
Now the stations themselves where the tracks are loaded and unloaded would be protected by ores. Basically it is feasible for me to protect the stations myself, unlike the main lines themselves, therefore it isn't necessary for the stations to be protected. I would simply arrange the protection stones so that the small area where the minecart is placed would be unprotected.

Ok so that sounds better as far as my concerns with the mass protection but the problem I see is the only rails being protected. I'm not sure that the world guard or what ever system we use for city protection could be set up to protect only certain blocks. I may be wrong but that is my thinking other wise I think this is a great idea and would be used often.
