Could be, it's all about giving the metal enough room to do its thing.I once saw a CSX track gang replacing rail on the Capital Subdivision in Laural Maryland burning smudge pots along roughly 300' of the end of a section of rail to lengthen it to connect it to the next section of rail. As I recall the ambient air temperature that day was in the 40s. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
