Passenger Trains > Heat restriction in SC?Date: 06/24/16 14:39 Heat restriction in SC? Author: Chessie1963 Good afternoon,
I am am on the Palmetto headed to Charleston from DC and it appears we have been restricted to 60 mph since Selma or so. Right now it is 87 degrees at our location, but probably close enough to 90 in the area for CSX. The crew has said nothing about it. Anyone here know? Date: 06/24/16 15:49 Re: Heat restriction in SC? Author: Chessie1963 By way of an update, we were further restricted to 40 mph for 15 miles apparently due to storms that moved through. Track inspectors were in front of us. After that 15 mile stretch we got back up to track speed. As of this wrting it does not appear that we have a speed restriction.

Date: 06/24/16 17:55 Re: Heat restriction in SC? Author: Out_Of_Service different areas have different temps for heat restrictions depending on the average ambient temp for that region ... what's the temp for heat restrictions to be implemented south of Richmond and into the Carolinas
