    The speaker sounds as if he was doing a trailer for an action-movie. The guy repairing the tracks sounds as if he swollowed a balloon full of helium and the guy inspecting the tracks sounds as if he is constantly chewing on a hot potato.... :D

    I was surprised to see it bolted. I guess they can't weld them with the drastic weather and temperature change.

      They do. Just the line they’re on can’t justify the cost due to traffic levels

      CWR is usually on main line.
      They can and do weld in hot/cold extremes, just need to de-stress the rail ( helps avoid breaks and sun kinks - solar irregularities.

      I’m a rail fan in Buffalo just over the boarder to Ontario and are tracks are all welded. All. Maybe a bolt on section here or there

      ​Not sure about feight, but most newer rail is ribbon rail. They make it miles long and bring it in on a flat bed cars. It gets welded together with thermite welding. You need a lot more anchors. Poor Paddy never saw the stuff. It has only been around for 30+ years. Poor Paddy was already in heaven working on the f'ing railway!

    I wonder if a van with the same rail setup might be more useful, so you can keep your hydraulics warmer. Or if electric power tools might end up taking the place of hydraulics in this application.

      Lol, To be truthful I loved working on the welding gangs (CNR. 1990 - 20016)
      The hours were insane 12 - 16 hrs a day on a 15 on, 6 days off (was really hard on my wife and daughters).
      Lastly, it was dangerous! My username Oneleg999 isn’t a coincidence - work train was “mistakenly” released through our form Y making a reverse movement and ran my ass over! Lol I survived but sadly old lefty didn’t make it!
      Biggest pisser was it happened on the last day of the cycle !🤬

      For the same reason that bridges out here in central and northern Canada have expansion joints large enough to fit your fist through rail also needs this. If you have ever seen "the worse railways in the world" and have seen those wonky wavy rails. That is what the rails would look like after one good winter if it was all welded together. Those joints are critical in order for the rail to last and stay safe.
