KCS' latest update, dated today. ************ MOW crews begin to assess effects of Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Katrina and the resulting storms continue to affect The Kansas City Southern Railway Company's (KCSR) operation in the New Orleans, La. and Gulfport, Miss. areas and on the eastern portion of the Meridian Speedway between Meridian and Vicksburg, Miss. On August 29, KCSR embargoed Gulfport and Delisle, Miss., New Orleans, Norco, Gramercy and Reserve, La. These areas and the Meridian Speedway between Meridian and Vicksburg, Miss. remain closed. This morning, maintenance of way crews are removing trees and assessing water damage on the Meridian Speedway and from Baton Rouge to Norco and from Reserve south until they meet water. It is too soon to enter the Gulfport area. A flyover is planned for today and tomorrow to get an early assessment of the overall damage. In preparation for Hurricane Katrina, KCSR moved its locomotives and customer shipments out of Gulfport and New Orleans over the weekend, staging traffic on higher ground. Further operational updates will be provided as they become available.
