CSX Prepares for Hurricane Joaquin

 

October 1, 2015

 

CSX is taking precautions to protect employees, rail traffic and infrastructure as multiple weather agencies forecast a risk of Hurricane Joaquin making landfall on the U.S. East Coast. At this time it is not known the level of impact the storm will have on CSX operations, but its path and intensity are being closely monitored as we take steps to prepare for any potential landfall on our network. 

 

Further updates will be provided as the situation develops. In the meantime, the CSX Customer Service team is available 24/7 to field any questions should customers need more details.

 

Customers with questions about shipments can contact the Customer Service Center via www.shipcsx.com or by calling 1-877-xxxxxxx (1-877-xxx-xxxx). Customers can sign up on ShipCSX to automatically receive service advisory notifications.

CSX Operations Delayed in Mid-Atlantic States

 

October 5, 2015

 

CSX is recovering from historic levels of rain over the weekend in the Carolinas. Several branch lines and at least two major lines have been impacted by flooding and downed trees. CSX crews are working to restore normal operations but the risk of additional rain and flooding continues.

 

While Amtrak has suspended passenger operations between Richmond and Jacksonville, freight continues to move in most areas although somewhat slowed by the conditions. Some local customers in the region may not be able to be served until all tracks are restored to service. As always, our main priority is the safety of our employees and the needs of our customers.

CSX Rail Line in South Carolina Impacted by Flooding

 

October 7, 2015

 

CSX operations in South Carolina continue to be impacted by recent flooding. The line between Charleston, S.C. and Florence, S.C. is flooded near Kingstree, S.C., with water levels slowly receding. Customers with freight traveling across this line should expect delays of 24 to 48 hours. Traffic scheduled through this area is being re-routed and other lines are being restored as quickly as possible to allow service to local customers.  

 

As conditions in the area gradually improve, rail infrastructure in some locations could be as long as a week before being fully restored. CSX continues to closely monitor operations to ensure normal train operations resume as soon as possible.
