Heat Kink Rail at Theresa Martin blog

Heat Kink Rail. Then the rail gets visibly. Or if overhead power wires—called a catenary system—get too hot,. It expands in the heat, which can make the track buckle sideways (known as a “sun kink”). For instance, if tracks get too hot, they can develop a kink; High temperatures can cause train tracks to buckle and kink. On june 20, after millions of americans had suffered through a sweltering heat wave for three days, amtrak sent an ominous. As climate change raises temperatures in areas of the country that are generally not. During multiple days of extreme heat, the temperature of steel tracks can rise sharply, causing them to expand into wavelike shapes. In a severe heat wave, a rail can swell until the underlying ties can no longer contain it. You can add ‘sun kinks,’ or railways that buckle in extreme heat, causing derailments, to the list of things that are already taking a toll. And other than slowing down trains during heat waves, the solutions. As extreme heat waves get worse, more tracks will turn into sun kinks — disrupting commuter rail service that reduces carbon emissions and slows that warming.
