Do you know that train tracks are often welded together by induction! Can you imagine the electricity it takes for that? It is a $1M unit that does it.
Some of it is done with explosion welding. Really cheap way of doing it.

They also pour a casting directly around the ends. but the inductive method is impressive. After they have to check the track for quite a distance to see if, during cooling it popped any other junctions.

Just checked it out, that’s a lot of work for one weld! I always wonderEd how the tracks expand in the heat? There’s no gap between the rails so……….I love the guys hard hat protecting the jack instead of his head. :headbang:

We did this at the power plant on our grounding cable ends.
