Commuters going home on the Virginia Railway Express or MARC trains Wednesday evening will face delays as the trains go slower to avoid running into heat kinks in the tracks.

VRE officials said Wednesday’s forecasted temperature of 88 degrees varied so widely from Tuesday’s high of 67 degrees that CSX, which owns VRE’s tracks, imposed heat-related speed restrictions on VRE’s Fredericksburg line.
