How about the summer when there is less traffic? Too much common sense?
The railroad is concerned with maintaining the railroad. Their traffic is also 24/7 and they have to schedule maintenance over the whole system. If they chose this line in the summer, someone else would be affected this time of year. BTW, it’s at least as large of a disruption for them, because they have to squeeze the same amount of trains into half the time.
