💡 Good to know
- The reviewed shoulder-season baseline avoids the harshest heat and cold; exact rail inventory, road conditions and temperatures remain live checks.
- Extreme southern heat can make outdoor heritage days unsafe; this baseline refuses midsummer pending a separate dated heat plan.
- Cold, snow and service changes need a separate dated transport and weather review.
