Setting railway tracks on fire to prevent icing is actually a thing. This is in Chicago. The flames come from gas-fed heaters that run alongside the rails and keep them warm. Anytime it's below freezing, Chicago’s Metra rail system uses this method.

This winter, Russia is once again targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure — leaving millions to endure freezing temperatures amid power and heating outages. In Kyiv, temperatures have dropped to –20°C (–4°F). In our newsroom, that means working under generator power, rotating space heaters, and carefully managing every watt.
