      No, because the rails are owned by Missouri Pacific or whomever the rail company is. Someone at some point engineered the expansion joints for a certain level of heat and underestimated it. Like all engineering I’m sure there was a tradeoff of likelihoods and it wasn’t likely we would have two months straight of 100+ temps.

        Which is strange because we see 100+ temps 2 months out of the year every time el nino does it’s thing. Bad research imo.
