## Resource

Amtrak’s holiday weekend trains are slowing down—yes, even if you’re just trying to get somewhere—because of the heat. Between 11 AM and 7 PM, speeds are cut to keep the power lines and tracks safe as temps soar past 95°F and track temps hit 128°F. AC stays on, but your trip might take longer—and some Providence stops are canceled. Stay tuned to Amtrak alerts for your specific train. Weather’s calling the shots, and patience is the new ticket.
