- lrem 4y agoThat seems inconsistent with my experience, unless they manage to do it completely without disturbing traffic.
- gsnedders 4y agoA lot of the re-tensioning can be done overnight; there's no actual replacement, just changing the level of (pre)stress the steel is under.
- ThePadawan 4y agoAll I could find is this paragraph: > Some countries regularly have extremes in temperature that affect their railway. They may adjust their rails between summer and winter, or have other measures in place to manage the effects over the long term. Which, when paraphrased, says: "Other countries may or may not do something else". (Which, when paraphrased, says the PR person had no effing clue.)
