CUSTOMER ADVISORY 9/18/2018: Florence Update
Although the storm has downgraded, Florence continues to deliver heavy rains and significant flooding in cities and towns across the Carolinas. At this time, CSX has issued an embargo on inbound traffic to facilities located between Lumberton, NC and Wilmington, NC. The embargo is effective beginning Tuesday, Sept. 18, and will remain in place until it is safe to resume operations.
CSX continues to reroute traffic in other storm-impacted areas to effectively meet customer needs, and our engineering team continues to assess the impacts to our infrastructure and restore service when and where it is safe to do so.
Network operations have been restored in the following areas:
- Savannah, GA to Florence, Columbia and Andrews, SC
- Charleston, SC to Spartanburg, Florence, Georgetown, SC
- Augusta, GA to Spartanburg, SC, Monroe and Hamlet, NC
- Spartanburg, SC to Eastover, Lane, Orangeburg, Creston, Cross, SC
Further updates will be provided as impacted lines return to normal operation. Intermodal customers should refer to Real-Time Service Advisories for intermodal-specific operational actions.
