In this form of track, the rails are welded together by utilising flash butt welding to form one continuous rail that may be several kilometres long, this type of rail is called __________ Correct Answer Continuous welded rail

In this form of track, the rails are welded together by utilising flash butt welding to form one continuous rail that may be several kilometres long. Because there are few joints, this form of track is very strong, gives a smooth ride, and needs less maintenance; trains can travel on it at higher speeds and with less friction. Welded rails are more expensive to lay than jointed tracks, but have much lower maintenance costs.
