Metal can expand slightly when heated by the sun, a small gap allows the rail to expand, that said modern rail tracks are welded and do not have these gaps.
please tell me the answer!
The only purpose for copper that I have seen on railroad tracks is as a connector between rail ends for signal conductivity purposes
Interlocking joints between railroad tracks are called compromise bars. They are a set of rail joint bars that connect rails of two different sizes.
The distance between the inner edges of the heads of the rails is called the gauge.
Trains that run on tracks.
The way a person can keep their train from jumping the tracks is to make sure the tracks are well maintained. This means the tracks should always be on a level and cleaned surface so that nothing gets between the rail and the train wheel.
They are used for trains to ride on them
