when the train goes down the track it does fine until it gets to the train bridge then the train drops to the bottom where the legs of the bridge meet the ground then back up when it gets past the bridge again what did i do wrong

You need to use ground boxes to support the train. Models set to moving ignore regular models like bridges and follow the terrain below.

For the black problem, you can paint the ground box in the same way you paint terrain. Just select the texture you want to use from the texture box, and then use the side bar to control what gets painted

To fix the looking through a hole part, just raise the bottom of the ground box so it's above the water level.
