Derailment disrupts train service for Chicago, New York, Washington, Miami
(The Center Square) – Passenger train service involving routes to Chicago, Miami and New York is on hold because of a coal train derailment in northeastern North Carolina on Sunday.
The CSX train pulling 28 loaded cars of coal went off the tracks just outside of Enfield, a small community of about 1,800 not far from Rocky Mount. Freight service is also impacted.
No injuries or environmental concerns have been reported. The cause of the crash has not been given.
According to Amtrak Alerts and Amtrack Northeast, the Floridian scheduled to depart Chicago on Sunday was canceled. The Floridian scheduled to leave Miami on Monday was also canceled.
Other cancellations included the Silver Meteor out of New York and the Auto Train out of Sanford, Fla.; the Carolinian, in both directions, between New York and Raleigh; and the Palmetto, in both directions, between Washington and Savannah, Ga.
More than two dozen trains per day use the crossing where the derailment happened, according to the Federal Railroad Administration.
