Curious why there would be a segment of sectional rail in the middle of what appears to be solid CWR... Repair of some sort?

I don't see any rail sections.  My guess is that these are some sort of strain gauges or magnetic sensors of an unspecified sort.

Winter are so cold up here they did not figured the contraction of the rail ....   
Funny all joints are  aligned ???

Friday was a beautifully clear day in south-central PA, a day after a 7" snowfall.  I caught a RoadRailer going east over the Rockville Bridge. Here it is stretched out over the river:





And a zoom on the engines:



Several hours later and about 80 miles south:



This bridge is about 200 yards north of the former WM line that became the Maryland Midland. It did not look like a train had passed since the previous snowfall.

My son and I went to Havelock, ON yesterday; home of the CPR yard (ok; Kawartha Lakes RR) and found the entire yard empty... not one piece of rolling stock; not even the omnipresent plow and Jordan.... Only three of the tracks were plowed. The switches had their brooms stationed there and there was sign that rolling stock had been there but I've never seen it totally empty.......kinda weird... and hard to get a good photograph........

MMID did not operate on Thursday, and Friday morning when I went back to Union Bridge to finish my route, crews were busy clearing snow from the yard, had not left for the day yet.
