how very curious. I'm guessing it's designed to some specific loading gauge issue (triangular tunnels?) or is it an avalanche proof train or something?

Which is where they got the name from. There were three brothers called Lines who owned a toy company. What do three lines make when joined together? A Tri-ang(le).  ;D
