What temps do they [MARC train] start having issues? I'm traveling to Herndon on Thursday and will be taking MARC from Baltimore. Curious if I'll run into issues.

I think the Penn line is different and doesn't get the heat-related speed restrictions we get on the Brunswick line heading NW out of DC, which is a standard track (no overhead wires).  We get them 90 and over, or even 85 if there was a big swing in temps from morning lows.  All due to heat kink risk
