Why can't stainless steel be used as rail?

Why can't stainless steel be used as rail?

Answer:

Stainless steel prices are high. Of course, the cheaper the rail, the better. The price of stainless steel is about 3 times of that of iron
The strength of stainless steel is not reached, not wear-resisting, and the cost is too expensive.
