Ever see a rail grinder? These heavy duty machines help smooth railroad tracks that become bumpy and misshapen due to use. The grindstones create the sparks that you see in this video and water tanks spray down the tracks to suppress fire. This process keeps the tracks safe and increases their lifespan.
