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.
