In the intricate world of railway transportation, strong wind stands as a formidable disruptor. When strong winds reach a certain intensity, they can exert a significant lateral force on trains. High - center - of - gravity trains, such as double - decker trains or container trains, are particularly vulnerable. The risk of these trains being blown over becomes a real concern. To safeguard the safety of passengers and crew, as well as the integrity of the train, railway authorities have no choice but to impose speed - limiting measures. As the train's speed is reduced, the journey that should have been completed in a timely manner is inevitably extended, resulting in delays.
Moreover, strong winds can cause extensive damage to railway facilities. Along the railway tracks, trees and billboards that are not firmly secured can be uprooted or toppled by the force of the wind. These objects then fall onto the tracks, creating an immediate obstruction to the train's path. In addition, the strong wind may also damage the overhead contact lines, which are crucial for supplying power to the train. Once the power supply is interrupted, the train loses its driving force and has to come to a halt. The time taken to clear the obstacles and repair the damaged facilities further contributes to the train's delay. In conclusion, strong wind can severely disrupt railway operations and cause significant delays through its impact on train safety and infrastructure.
