The friction between the train and the railway tracks!
Thermite is a substance that burns at a very high temperature for a few seconds. It is used usually to weld railroad tracks solid all the way through. All though some people have found other uses for it. Most of those are just burning big holes in things :P
Marijuana can be detected in urine for up to 3-30 days, depending on factors such as frequency of use, metabolism, and amount consumed. Smoking a very small amount may result in a shorter detection window, but it can still be present for a few days.
The nerve agent Sarin is known to be very persistent and oily, able to stay active in an area for several days. It is a potent organophosphate compound that can cause serious harm to the nervous system and is considered a highly toxic chemical weapon.
VX
One nerve agent that is very oily and can persist in an area for several days is VX. VX is a highly toxic chemical compound that interferes with the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and eventually death. Its oily nature allows it to remain on surfaces for an extended period of time, posing a significant hazard.
Railroad tracks buckle on hot days because the steel expands due to the heat, causing the tracks to push against each other and form kinks. This can lead to misalignments and structural stress on the tracks, resulting in buckling.

the mental rails undergo thermal expansion
The metal undergoes thermal expansion.
Buses stop at railroad tracks to ensure that trains are not close by. Buses are longer than cars and therefore need more time to get across the tracks.
Buckling was caused by the expansion of the rail due to being heated by the sun. The metal rails undergo thermal expansion. This can cause rails to also pull against the metal pins holding the rail in place and shift the rails away from the (timber) railroad ties. The ties and rails define the train's pathway, and the rails, without expansion, keep the train's "wheels" in contact with the rails; with expansion, this direct contact cannot be maintained. Add in speed and heat from friction, expanding rails can derail a train faster than an Engineer can blow the emergency whistle or faster than he can apply the brakes.
why would you want to sleep on railroad tracks????? -x- It definitely has to do with your body. For example, I myself wouldn't be very comfortable on train tracks, especially in the cold brittle night. There is also a great deal of danger, you never know when a train is coming. ;)
noAnother View: (in the US) Technically, YES, it is. The railroad right-of-way is owned by the railroad company and is private property. When you walk on it you are committing trespass.
Stealing railroad tracks comes under a number of Federal felony areas, and will nearly guarantee Federal prison time, and can mean life in prison. However, you more likely mean theft of railroad rails where the track is not in service - this is a felony, and is very unlikely not to be caught if the thief attempts to sell the rails as scrap.
Until very recently, the system was to let it drop on the tracks. Now it is collected in tanks, just the way they do with airplanes.
Bullet trains are conventional electric trains, named bullet trains due to their streamlining. They use conventional railroad tracks and electric catenary systems, but built and maintained to very tight tolerances.
very carefully
