Rail inspection

Okay kiddo, you know how trains run on tracks to move from one place to another? Well, the tracks that trains run on need to be checked regularly so that they stay safe and secure for the trains to run on.

This is called rail inspection, and it involves people walking or riding along the tracks to check them for any damage or issues. They look for things like cracks, breaks, or wear and tear on the track.

Sometimes, these people might use special tools or machines to help them inspect the tracks, like a small car that can move along the track or a device that can measure the distance between the tracks.

Rail inspection is very important because if the tracks aren't in good condition, it can be dangerous for trains to run on them. It's kind of like checking your bike before you ride it to make sure everything is working properly, so you don't have any accidents.

So, by regularly inspecting the tracks, we can make sure that trains can travel safely and smoothly from one place to another!
