I learnt that the railway workers put detonators on the train tracks so that the train driver hears the bang when the train goes over it and knows to slow down because there are workers working on the railway line up ahead. We learn't that to keep safe we SHOULD NOT TOUCH THEM! because they will blow your hand off, only cross when you are 100% sure its safe!

Wow, I'd call this blog train tricks, as well as train tracks.I didn't realise the railways used detinators. I wonder if there is something technologiocal that might do the same purpose. Perhaps something that will flick off a flare or a bright light. Jocelyn
Hi Jocelyn,
Thanks for the comment I have never seen a detinator before.
