That  reminds me, CWR was best laid in hot weather when it was at or near 
maximum  expansion. If not, it could buckle and kink during extreme heat. We had  
problems with that on CN in Ontario in the 70's, and I think it caused a  
derailment. CSX also had problems with this several years back.

But then this increases the chances of pull aparts in the winter.   Both 
scenarios show the importance of rail anchors.
