Parallel lines do not meet, ever. They may come "close enough" for your purposes at a great enough distance, but they never meet. You could prove this to yourself in that photo by picturing a train at the end of the track, and asking yourself whether the train's two rows of wheels turn to one row when it gets far enough away from you.

On the subject of aerodynamics, a 1.6mph crosswind at 65mph would bring two of the wheels in-line.
