Day 9 - 8/31/05, Railroad Operations Comes to a Halt

Both Norfolk Southern and CSXT have notified all parties of "Liability under Act of God and the Force Majeure Clause". This clause releases both railroads of liability relating to the loss and/or damage to commodity or product caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control. These circumstances include damage and loss beginning on or about August 28, 2005, with the occurrence and conditions created as a result of Hurricane Katrina and the damage caused by the uncontrolled rising waters in several states.

The three pictures below shows damaged or missing track along the Norfolk Southern line.

Again, help the Red Cross help others. Give generously. Thanks!
