MÁV is slowing trains and protecting tracks from the heat with paint, Transport and Investment Minister Dávid Vitézy said in a Facebook post on Wednesday. He said that extreme heat also places a severe strain on the railway network and, in extreme cases, can even cause rail breaks, the Hungarian news agency wrote. Extreme heat may damage not only the rail tracks but also railway infrastructure. The use of heat-reflective white paint on the Pécs railway line has produced encouraging results, with measurements showing that it reduced rail temperatures by 3C to 7C.
