Amtrak changes schedule in the Northeast Corridor due to heat

Amtrak passengers traveling in the Northeast Corridor, between Washington and Boston, should check the rail service's app or online site for schedule changes, with modifications already in play this summer due to the heat. 

Departure times of trains in the corridor have been adjusted to compensate for anticipated heat order delays, Amtrak Northeast said Tuesday in a post on X. 

The notice from the passenger rail service comes as climate change contributes to the severity of storms around the world. In the U.S., at least 23 people have died in holiday weekend storms in five states.
