In Chicago, although what's good for Chicago might be good for other areas.
Can't say I've ever heard of train rails being set of fire,, is this new or some "clever way" Pyromaniacs have found to make money???
No telling what the contract is worth. Lots of pictures and videos on the link.
It's more than COLD it's a POLAR VORTEX.. Think of it as the BLOB with frostbite splotches.

?Polar Vortex Henry?
They don't set the rails on fire. There are propane burners going to keep the switch points from freezing to the rails. That way they can still change the switches remotely. Otherwise, if the switches freeze up they have to send a maintainer out to manually operate the switch, and he may be hours away on another job.
BTW, this has been going on since the 1800s, it's not a new thing.
Heard that in Chicago they cannot breath through their mouth it's so cold.
Should not be a problem. Most of them breath (and talk) through the opposite end anyway.
Maybe some of their banned guns will freeze up also.
