Heatwave Slows Down Amtrak Trains

The recent heatwave has caused some delays for Amtrak trains, as extreme temperatures can affect the train's infrastructure.

The heat can cause the tracks to warp and the overhead power lines to sag, potentially causing safety hazards.

To prevent these issues, Amtrak has implemented slower speeds for trains, leading to delays of up to an hour during peak hours.

Amtrak advises passengers to check their train's status for the most up-to-date information on potential delays caused by the heat.
