Due to the intense heatwave affecting the Midwest and East Coast, Amtrak has implemented minor delays in train service to ensure passenger safety.
To prevent potential hazards from extreme temperatures, Amtrak trains are operating at slower speeds, leading to delays of up to an hour between 12 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
High temperatures can cause tracks to warp and overhead power lines to sag, necessitating reduced train speeds for safety precautions.
Amtrak advises passengers to check their train's status for the most up-to-date information on potential delays.
