Thanks Len. I was trying to find it on Youtube so I didn't have to use the FB one. I was just amazed at the flexibility of the rails.

Me too. When they were pulling the joint bars on the old rail, I thought they would be installing welded rail. So I was really surprised to see them drilling joint bar holes in the new rail.

They were installing  welded rail. So every half mile or so they need to have a joint. rail expand and contract.
