To cope with thermal expansion and contraction, a certain gap must be left at the joint of the rail. The reserved gap should not be too small to prevent the rail from expanding and stretching at high temperatures. The rail gap should not be too large to prevent the rail from shortening at low temperatures, which may affect the operation of the train.
