Europe's rail networks are buckling under an intense heatwave, causing widespread delays and cancellations. Aging infrastructure, including overhead power lines and tracks, struggles with extreme temperatures, leading to system failures. High-speed lines are particularly vulnerable due to their need for precise tolerances. Solutions like temperature sensors and reflective track paint are being explored to combat these growing challenges.

The extreme heat baking much of Europe this week is exposing the limits of rail infrastructure made during cooler times, leading to delays and cancellations along with warnings to…
