Zusammenfassung:An assembly that is adapted to position a track heater in spaced relation proximate to a surface of a track rail of a railroad. The assembly includes at least one heating element, and a hood or housing that is operable to at least partially surround the heating element while positioning the heating element near to track rail. The hood positions the heating element relative to the rail section such that a gap exists between the heating element and the rail section. As the heating element does not contact the rail, the heating element cannot form an electrical by-pass for signals passing through the rail section.
