Impressive pictures John,

the last time I saw this process being used was 50 years ago when the Melbourne tramways were relaying track in the eastern suburbs where I lived at the time, they used a slightly different method where the rail ends were enclosed in a refractory lined cast iron box and then fired. The rails were tied with rods and cast in concrete.

Regards, Stuart
