For those who are unfamiliar with the Thermite welding process, the red powder @ 1:31 is Foundry Sand which is used to seal the gaps around the mold. The grey powder @ 3:32 is Thermite which is a mixture of powdered Iron Oxide + powdered Aluminum. @ 4:25, the mold is preheated. @ 5:30, the Thermite contained inside the bucket is ignited. The high heat from the exothermic reaction produces molten iron which flows down into the mold. When the iron has solidified sufficiently, then the excess flash from the mold is ground off to make level and smooth the now repaired joint in the railway track.

Always wondered how they did this. I retired from the railroad and think the track workers are one of the most important assets of the railroad!

Simple tech and it works. It’s used in Australia too - simple and reliable.

Persze, van ellenálláshegesztő gép, de a záróhegesztéseket a mai napig thermittel szokták végezni. Vagy például kitérőknél nem is lehet ellenálláshegesztővel dolgozni: nem fér hozzá. Szóval nem primitív módszer, megvan a helye a vasútépítésben.

That makes sense, saw a rail just to turn around and weld it again.

The rail they welded wasn't the same one they sawed. They sawed and removed a damaged rail then replaced with a new rail and welded that.

The last one I watched of this crew, they were sledgehammering of a piece of slag and cracked the weld right in two.

At least these guys aren't wearing pajamas and their night shirts. They have lower safety standards if any in the far east. Watched a BNSF crew of two do 3 welds and they explained their work which was nice of them.

термитная сварка, использовалась ещё в 50-х годах точно... раньше не знаю, но возможно

I had never heard of this until watching a documentary entitled "Epic Train Journeys From Above" on TV last night in which this exact technique was used. Then this shows up in my recommendations today. Weird.

thermite is serious stuff. white hot !

I am from Algeria. I worked in this field on the railway for five years with a private company, then we stopped after that. I want to continue this work in a state-owned company, and when I asked for my rights at work, they sent me to court 🤔🤔

The process is the same everywhere with continuous welded rail, but no PPE for the guys doing the work? Where is this? Somewhere with no safety culture.

Note they have to grind the rail smooth. If there's an imperfection even as small as a penny on the tracks, the train will derail.

The same stuff they used on 9-11...... imagine that.

One thing is CERTAIN....if I, or ANY of my co-workers were caught wearing those SHOES that some of those MW&S workers were wearing, that is a basis for you being dismissed! This has to be outside of the United States! But the same basic principal.

Wow there seems to be what looks like molten metal pouring out the side of the building.

Looks fascinating, but that's a lot of unnecessary effort. Couldn't tracks just be, I don't know, screwed together, so they don't have to always be cut and molded, when replaced?

Мда, это сборище каких-то фантастических долбоклюев, что много часов варили рельс, и сварили без температурного зазора, и шлифовали болгаркой по горячему... Хорошо, что у них там, видимо, один поезд в сутки проходит... Интересно, кстати, сколько та банка из нержавейки, в которой термит горел, выдержит таких надругательств? Два? Три?

Ahhh India……where safety is an afterthought. They also didn’t put the usual catchpans on either side to catch the extra slag/molten metal pouring out of the sides. Good thing they were on concrete ties, or else they would’ve set the damn track on fire!

There's a guy with brand new white snickers!

I wonder if the Railway company had closed the line off to trains whilst maintenence crews fix the broken rail. It's India, so maybe they have to do repairs inbetween train times on an open line which is highly dangerous to crews and railway passenger's. I hope it isn't the latter and that they adhere to common health and safety standards but judging on the attire of the work crew, I don't think they acoomodate much safety standards.
