I have worked on a rail gang in the snow - they used a propane burner to heat the rail. I also worked with a welder doing the thermite welds in the field (very cool) and repairing jointed rail. Repairing the beat down ends consisted of him building up the surface and me beating it flat with a sledge. <br /> <br />RH
