Railway operators are already experimenting with painting rails with white color to reduce the heat impact. I think this issue gets more and more…
Besides a nice impression of the driver’s perspective on this route, this video also illustrates, why the sophisticated railway signalling and train protection systems are essential for safe train operation independent from weather conditions. Technical measures ensure, that the track ahead is not occupied by another train and therefore also without good visibility conditions, high…
