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.
France has more railway tracks than Belgium.
Heat makes things expand (generally). Therefore railway tracks can buckle because they heat up, expand, and warp. Tire pressure rises because heat makes air expand, too, therefore raising the pressure inside the tire.
Yes
Contraction is the reason that railway tracks sound louder in winter.
France has 29,901 kilometres of railway.

Railway tracks
The gaps between railway tracks, known as expansion joints, are essential for accommodating the thermal expansion and contraction of the steel rails due to temperature changes. As temperatures rise, the metal expands, and without these gaps, the rails could warp or buckle, leading to safety hazards and operational issues. The gaps also allow for slight movements caused by train loads and environmental factors, ensuring the structural integrity of the railway system.
