In the end of the video you show a piece of rail where it is bolted to the sleepers. But here in Europe the rail gets clamped to the sleepers with spring loaded clamps. The rail is allowed to slide under these clamps during expansion and contraction. Can you explain how thermal expansion is controlled in this situation?

Cool vid, thank you. But only slowly beginning to lose the bad taste that that ' Elon musk' episode created.... Veritasium (derived from veritas, meaning truth) and we got a lie. I wonder how that hyperloop is doing? I wonder how mars and moon bases really fair against the science(they don't). Still....slowly getting that cred back....

I watched an Indian video on thermite welds on train tracks before this. The Indian guy wore the required steel toed sandals with bare naked eyeball protection and rag clothing.....no one complained. He even took a dump and wiped his arse with a rock. Got to admit smart men and tough as nails. All I see and hear from this guy is ughhh I'm hot, I'm sweaty, it's heavy, where do I toss this. Let's go to an air conditioned lab, here buy this thingy. If I wanted to hear all this whining I'd still be married.๐๐๐๐

A thermite reaction doesnโt make steel, it actually makes very pure Iron which is brittle. I never actually checked this but I assumed a stoichiometrically correct addition of carbon to the Aluminium and Iron Oxide thermite mixture was the solution. Anyone know if this is actually the case?

I got a question? Why does germany use stone ties instead of wood? Also much respect to railroad workers they work hard. I wish the rail road system in America was more extensive, imagine a high speed rail across america, i could live in mississippi and work in new york or chicago or california and be home every night! It would almost solve the employment nightmare we have here in north america!

It seems to work in temperate climates, does it work in tropical climates. Around seventy years ago in science class, I was shown a rail line in India which was very badly buckled due I was told to the line expanding, whilst some fish plates were compromised. This rail had buckled to what seemed to be around four feet in height. Why doesnโt the solid rail buckle?
