Heat buckles

Congrats on joining the heat buckled track club.
Ever since capitalism introduced continuous weld rail, we have had to contend with potential buckled rails during hot days.
The WOLO telegram being implemented to instruct all trains to reduce speed.
According to the International TV news, not many trains running around the Old Dart during the 40.1 C.
Our dramas down-under are currently due to water.
WE have had heaps of it.
Numerous landslips and submerged track closing rail lines.
Mum Nature is definitely cranky around the globe.
Mind you, I would prefer the heat to our current winter chill, the worst for some moons.
At least we have only suffered the one power blackout thus far.
And, that was while I was in the dental distress chair getting me wonky choppers drilled.
