Burning the rail back together


When it is real cold the rail will pull apart at its weakest point. In order for repairs to be made and to put joint bars on the break they have to get diesel soaked cellulose and lay it next to the rail, set fire to it, and burn it back together. Then the Maintainer can put a cadweld bond on.
