In the photo above, taken on July 24, 1978, extremely warped rail tracks near Asbury Park, New Jersey led to the derailment of a passenger car, which can be seen in the background.
Happens on occasions in many places.

SD: Why?
G: They've got buckled lines.
SD: Gness! That's not like you!
G: What???
SD: Swearing like that.
G: I didn't swear?
SD: You did! You said.....They've got F*** All lines.

in the UK, rails are stressed to a median temperature to take account of most conditions. the sort of heat being experienced now is outside of that envelope; to take account of them would require the rails to be restressed every year to take account of cold weather in the winter. it's an economic balancing act - and while extreme heat remains the exception, it's cheaper to live with a few disruptive days than spending thousands on adjusting the rails. as global warming gets going, that policy can be expected to change.
