The "curvature of the earth" is not a grade up or down. It's the same "level" if it's at the same distance from the (gravitational) center of the earth.
Stanley, your explanation does not address the engineer's concern.  Read again, below.



If the prescribed curvature was indeed as represented, the central stations at Rugby or Warwick ought to be close upon three miles higher than a chord drawn from the two extremities.  If such was the case there is not a driver or stoker within the Kingdom that would be found to take charge of the train

While they defend the globe, it is impossible for people to stay on the level.  

This is not just a pun, but a fact that their reasoning is built on deceptions. Globe earth defenders think what is curved is actually level. They'll tell you that railroad line wraps around a ball earth yet remains level. :confused: 
Just like they think water surface curves, but only appears level. :confused:

What's really surprising is that people have the nerve to defend such premises.  Arguing that railroads are parallel to a particular line is an obfuscation.  The track would still have to curve to follow the contours of the globular form, which it never does.

All navigators, pilots, snipers and civil engineers and  use a flat earth model as a basis
for what they do.
The Panama Canal would be a mile underwater if they calculated in the curvature of the earth. (8 " per mile squared)
Snipers do not calculate in the Coriolis effect either

We choose a model because of evidence, right? Because it corresponds to reality?
Not because we may think it would be convenient for apologetics.

I agree that we choose a model because of evidence, and its correspondence to reality. That evidence also includes sacred scripture, IMO.

I didn't intend to mean that we use any of this for apologetics. Rather, we try to show that the globe model is the tool of the Atheistic Elites. Similar to how we try to show that Vatican ll was heretical. Not for apologetics, but for showing that truth has been corrupted to push an agenda that is against our Faith.

Yes, and one could go on for hours about all the evidence that favors the notion that we live on a flat, stationary plane.
