With extreme heat like we’re currently experiencing, rail temperatures can soar above 135°F, which may cause bends in the rail due to thermal expansion.
For years, Metro has monitored rail temps on “heat rides” to detect track issues before they happen.
This year, we’re adding something new: applying reflective white paint to vulnerable segments, which lowers temps.
With over 6,000 feet treated, we’re enhancing track lifespan and boosting safety and reliability! Here’s the team in action 💪
Mississippi police shot and killed a 1-year-old child who was in the car with his mother.
Autopsy reports reveal the child was shot through the side of the car, contradicting officers' claims that the car was heading towards them.
It’s pretty fucking disgusting that we live in a country where climbing the Empire State Building is a crime but rich people touching little kids isn’t.
