Continuous welded rail is laid at a very specific temperature, which I forget. (70s I think) The rail is either flame heated or water cooled to that magic temp where it will handle temperature related expansion and contraction all year long. Learned this when I worked on the UP some years back. <br /> <br />Mike in Boulder
