From CSXEngineer:
As of this morning,8/29, On the Southern Division,there is: a washout just west
of Rte 15 crossing; 2) a washout At the Edison Rd crossing in Odgensburg;
3)Significant and major flooding between MP 43 and 44 just near the
Charlottesburg Resevoir; 4) a washout near MP 73 with about 50 feet of track
suspended in mid air; 5) serious threats to several bridges, notably in the
Butler area, plus numerous trees down.
I dare say trains won't be going west of
Butler for several weeks at this point. And that's a conservative estimate.
Major damage.
