Fires in Northeast FloridaMay 09, 2017
On Monday, May 8, fires burning in Northeastern Florida began to impact trains operating between Atlanta and Jacksonville. Heavy smoke and signal outages have been reported, causing decreased visibility and delay to rail service. Throughout the night, the route in and out of Jacksonville was closed as a result of fire over the tracks. Currently, trains are moving through the area with modest delay. As the fires continue, trains may incur more significant delay due to decreased visibility resulting from shifting wind directions.
