Amtrak issues heat-related service advisory for trains operating between New York, Philadelphia

NEW YORK -- The intense heat that will be sticking around the Tri-State Area for a few days could cause problems on the rails.

Amtrak has issued a service advisory for all trains operating between New York and Philadelphia.

Riders were warned to be on the lookout for delays due to heat-related speed restrictions.

High temperatures can cause the rails and overhead wires to expand, so trains may need to go slower to avoid an accident.
