The main function of rails in the American scrape is structural. You have this really long scrape including windows that take a lot of the strength out of the cane. Without rails your reed would behave as if you had tied two pieces of paper together.
Short scrape reeds have natural structure to support the reed. The main issue here is keeping enough mass in the heart for a solid tone, while encouraging the reed to vibrate easily with the wind. Ergo, thin, to (in some cases) nonexistent rails.
