    It means that the rail, as in railway or tram way in a pit or such like, was out of alignment so the wagons could not be moved on it. I puzzled on this one for many years before I worked out the explanation.

    I puzzled over this for years, but I think it means something along the lines of: It's a lazy approach to a problem, and seems like a good idea at the time, however it may have unpleasant consequences
