Service Bulletin - Hurricane Katrina, Aug. 29 Released: Aug 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina made landfall this morning, Monday, Aug. 29, just southeast of New Orleans. The Category 4 storm brought high winds and torrential rains all along the Gulf Coast, from points west of New Orleans, through the city and east through Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss., and along the bayfront of Pensacola, Fla. The affected areas continue to experience high winds, flooding and extensive commercial power outages. CSXT has suspended rail service from Montgomery, Ala., south, and from Chattahoochee, Fla., west to New Orleans. By mid-morning, CSXT's Montgomery and Birmingham, Ala., locations remained unaffected by the storm and were handling rail traffic. An embargo has been issued for all Merchandise traffic traveling to, from, or through the area between New Orleans and Mobile. CSXT is continuing to reroute rail traffic toward more northerly locations to avoid the affected areas. Ballast, generators and equipment have been staged outside the Gulf Coast to aid in restoration of rail service as the storm passes. CSXT will continue to monitor the storm and will revise its operating plans as needed to avoid areas being affected by Hurricane Katrina. All precautions are being taken to ensure the safety of our employees, customers, and the public with minimum delay to shipments as we continue to monitor the progress of the storm. For more information, customers can call the CSX Customer Service Center at 877 - SHIP CSX (877-744-7279)
