When I started railroading most track where I worked was still jointed rail. I remember they installed some test ribbon on a branch line. I used to see sun kinks on occasion. Over the years it has gotten to the point that no jointed rail is on the main that I know about. The techniques they use when laying rail has made it so a sun kink is rare and you have only an occasional pull apart. When laying rail the temperature is taken and sometimes they heat the rail to get to what they have as an optimal rail temperature and all rail laying data is recorded so if compensation like cutting some rail has to be done later it will get flagged in the database and done.
