Can the TLM be done in churches without altar rails?

This church, though it was built in 1970, has an altar rail.

Oh, to answer your question in a more general matter, the TLM can be done in a church without an altar rail. If this is the case, they usually reserve the first row of pews, so people can kneel there for communion. In fact, as you probably know, the TLM was done out in fields for the military.

I don't see why not. Prie dieus could be used, if any are on hand.

The Mass can be offered on the hood of a jeep on a battlefield, or a rock in the wilderness, or ...
Lack of altar rails should be the least of impediments.
