Due to several diesel problems we have been forced to rearrange equipment assignments this evening. Train 436, the 537pm departure from Washington for Baltimore will have two cars less than its normal train. Passengers may consider waiting for train 438, the 605pm departure which has a regular size train.

At 520pm CSX placed flash flood restrictions on the Brunswick Line from Washington to Brunswick. This requires trains to operate no more than 40mph and slower at points where flooding is more likely. The restrictions are set to expire at 800pm. These restrictions will cause delays of 20-40 minutes depending on the train's destination.
