"Climate change is increasingly becoming a major challenge for rail transport.

Storms, snowfall, floods and fires are putting rail networks to the test across
Europe.

In Austria alone, Railjets and other ÖBB trains were forced to a standstill
1,900 times in 2023 due to weather conditions, according to Austrian newspaper
Kronen Zeitung.

So how is the rail industry adapting to a warming planet?"
