Why Railway Tracks Have Gaps: The Science Explained!

Ever wondered why there are small gaps between railway tracks? These aren't just random spaces—they're vital for the safety and efficiency of railways! In this video, we explore the science behind these essential gaps, linked to thermal expansion of steel. When temperatures rise, tracks expand; without these gaps, they could bend or buckle, leading to dangerous derailments. Conversely, in colder weather, gaps prevent cracks from forming as tracks contract. Discover how engineers calculate these spaces to maintain structural integrity and safety. So, next time you hear that 'clickety-clack' sound, remember the unsung heroes of railway design!
