ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
200m rails? Is that right? How did they transport them? The individual train cars are only a fraction of that length. They would have to bend with the train cars around turns. Are rails terribly flexible horizontally? The rails in that photo look all warped, but I imagine warming them up and applying some industrial level force would straighten them out.

If they really are that long, it sounds nice. The clickity-clack of trains is a classic sound, but not as fun for passengers. Are they 200m only in certain parts? Some of those rails in the picture look very short.
