What is the difference between in Normal speed railway track or High speed railway track are the rails of High speed railway track thick than Normal speed railway track?

Its not necessarily heavier (thicker is the wrong term),
but it is more carefully aligned - and the curves are gentler.

Why do railway lines have gaps in them?
to allow for the thermal expansion or contraction
What are the effects of expansion and contraction in the design of bridges pavements and MRT lines?
- MRT and Railway tracksif a continuous track of metal is used, it will expand in hot weather and bent. trains running on bent tracks may be derailed. to prevent this, railway tracks are laid in sections with expansion gaps between them. A sliding joint between adjoining rails allows them to expand without bending.- bridgesboth concrete and steel bridges are built with allowance for expansion and contraction due to changes in the surrounding temperatures. Rollers and sliding joints allow for the movements of the bridges as it expands and contracts
What are the differences between modern railtracks and railtracks used in the 1800's and why are the materials being used used?
I believe the rails were wooden.
Is Rails faster than Java?
I don't think Rails is faster than Java, because Rails is only web based and Java is everywhere. Java is much enriched and full of resources. Its community is also vast. Plus its celebrating its 20th birthday and Java is still rising, and Rails is only 9 years old. But in such short time Rails also got good popularity. Sites like Shopify, Cruncbase,SoundCloud used Rails. Twitter was also based on Rails but they are moving their codes in Java recently. We never know in future Rails could beat Java in web developments.
Why a gap is left between two pieces of rails in the railway line?
These days that's no longer always the case. It used to be because as the rail warmed up in the sun it got longer, so gaps was left for the rail to have something to expand into. w/o the gapsor with too small gaps it happened that the rail broke loose from the sleepers and caused the train to derail. To day many railroads are using concrete sleepers, which are strong enough to keep the rails in place w/o any gaps.
How do you make a railway in minecraft?
You would need rails, detector rails, power rails, and minecarts.
What are the rails and the engines of the underground railway?
the rails and engines accourding to Julilly from underground to canada by barbara smucker is the underground railroad or railway.
Why there is a gap between rails in railway track?
The rails expand on account of thermal expansion due to increased temperature in summer
What is difference between train and rail?
A rail is a what a train runs on. A pair of parallel rails is known as a track. A train is a collection of one or more vehicles, connected together, which run on railway tracks.
Why small gaps are left between successive rails in railway lines?
In the heat (of summer) the rails undergo thermal expansion. The amount of expansion is proportional to the normal length and, because rails are long lengths of metal, the expansion is sizeable. If there were no gaps then the expanding rails would push against one another until they buckled.
Why are there gaps between the steel tracks on a railway line?
You are referring to the gaps between two adjacent rails. Two reasons - 1) depending upon location, gaps are provided under "normal conditions" that will not exist when the rails become very hot (this is because of the rails expanding from heat); 2) gaps are provided which have insulating material inserted to separate rail sections into "blocks" to provide for control of systems such as the wayside signals.
When metal railway tracks are laid workers leave a small 1cm space between the rails why is this done?
For heat expansion.
Are railway tracks and railway lines the same?
No. Railway tracks are only the rails and ties/sleepers and hardware used to hold the track in place. A railway line is a set of tracks designed to move a train between at least 2 points. A railway line can consist of many tracks.
What would happen to railway lines if they were made of one long continuous metal rail instead of many rails with small spaces between them?
When the tracks expanded in hot weather, buckling of the rails would be the result.
What is difference between monorail and birail?
monorail has 1 rail and a birail has 2 rails
What is antonyms for monorail?
This is not a word which would really have an antonym. There is no special word for a railway with two rails - it is called a "conventional railway".
