Solar panels between railway tracks? (www.euronews.com)

I'm all for putting solar panels all over the place, but won't these get dusty and oily and need loads of cleaning after trains pass over?

Also, costing €623,000 over three years sounds rather expensive for just 100m (although that roughly equates to 11KW).

This is Switzerland, outside of a small number of corridors the majority of tracks see virtually nothing but passenger trains.
