Very interesting, I am aware of heated points and rails but never knew that used actual flames in some countries.
Don't know if you read the article Mike, The flames actually come from gas-fed heaters that run alongside the rails and keep them warm. Metra also uses a tubular heating system and hot air blowers to heat up cold track. Wouldn't see that at London Bridge Good to talk about the things that really matter in life
