How can railway tracks be built with no gaps?
I assume you are referring to what's called continuous welded rail (CWR), sometimes known as ribbon rail. Unlike traditional sectional rail, CWR has no spaces or gaps at regular intervals. According to Robert McGonigal, writing in Trains magazine, CWR is heated when it is laid, then anchored to prevent contraction in length. Railroads use a standard formula in order to determine the correct "neutral temperature" at which rail is laid. When it contracts in the cold, the rail shrinks in height and width but not length. Still, in unusually hot weather, both CWR and sectional rail can buckle, resulting in derailments. For this reasons, railroads will impose slow orders on their trains during periods of extreme heat.
