WEATHER WARNINGS AND PROTECTION OF TRACK AND STRUCTURES. PART I: THE RAILROAD PERSPECTIVE ON WEATHER. PART II: HOW WEATHERDATA TRACKS THE WEATHER

This 2-part paper, presented at a conference on railroad track and structures, examines how weather affects railroad operation and looks at the WeatherData weather forecasting technology. The focus in Part I is on how railroads receive warnings of impending hazardous weather conditions and how railroads react to such warnings.
