Why don't railway tracks bend when hot?
Railroad tracks can bend when they get hot. Train tracks have a small gap where one rail meets the next rail. These are called expansion joints. When it is hot the rails expand making the gap smaller, and when it is cold the rails contract making the joints wider. If the expansion joints are not wide enough and the rail gets hot enough it will expand more than the expansion joint can handle and the rails can buckle. In other situations the rails can get what are called sun kinks and the rails actually bend out of alignment.
