Trains don't have a higher failure rate than car infrastructure. Most of the rail infrastructure works just fine, at 40C. Occasionally something can get damaged. Aviation is much more fragile regarding weather but interestingly doesn't get all that heat from transit haters and cars are way more dangerous and on top of that can overheat at extreme temperatures.
Yes, most of it works fine but when it doesn't:
With a car:
You see multiple news every day about trains in Spain,Poland or Germany with broken AC or just completely failing between stations.
Is that an inherent problem of trains or are the trains too old? Genuinely asking
We don't have such problems in Austria. We also don't have 40 degrees but I dare say it's not inherent of trains.
