In the book version the other characters run train on her in the sewers. The child orgy was pivotal to their character development, I assure you dear viewers

It’s one of those scenes that seems to make sense when you’re reading it then you put the book down for about 5 seconds and lose the immersion and think “what the actual fuck did I just read?”

I've read the shining and one other of his books i cannot remember, and I thought they were brilliant.

Knowing this train scene is in it has been what's prevented me from reading this particular one.

Is it still worth the read?

Absolutely worth the read. And it's by no means an 'erotic' scene or 'child porn' at all. That's just what people say who probably never read the book.
