High Temperatures May Require Trains to Operate at Lower Speeds

High temperatures during warmer summer months can impact Amtraintrak operations. Extreme heat can cause rail, bridge and overhead wires to expand. As a precautionary approach, Amtraintrak may enact heat restrictions which require locomotive engineers to operate trains at lower speeds and can result in possible delays.
