That is exactly the same rail as they are using now, and it could certainly carry more of a load than just puppies (1 Ton/m I think I have read). I don't believe there are clearances in the LHC era for the old monorail cars and the rail couldn't handle all the lifting for the new dipoles. But, I have to admit the regression to a puppy sized vehicle has advantages: the new cars are small enough to slip through holes in doors and shielding to operate autonomously during controlled access conditions.
