The bug
It is not possible to place any type of rails on top of honey blocks. This might be intended as honey blocks don't have a hitbox of a full block.

Still in 20w15a. I understand that you can't because it's a side effect of not being a full block, but now that you can place rails on soul sand (which isn't a full block either) you should also be able to place them on honey blocks.

Cannot be placed on Powder Snow either which would relate to MC-205058
I also noted that flint and steal can not be used on top of a honey block, which is probably caused by the same issue.
