CSX tears up 98/01 ? ?

Trying to confirm that CSX rebuilt a crossing too high  and 98's locos hit but they cleared.  4 trailing cars reported not so lucky as undersides damaged/.  V-2 bag, amfleet coach 2 V-1 sleepers  ( if so that's bad.  )  98 arrived NYP 9+ hours late.

according to dixieland appears to have happened north of West Palm Beach and before Sebring. Lost 9:4 WPB - SBR.  More unconfirmation that loco(s) dislodged crossing rubber or panel. Loco and  1- dead head Amfleet passed over OK but second D/H Amfleet-2,  V-2 Baggage, & 2 V-1 sleepers undercarriage damage.  Probably is CSX but could be trirail as triRail goes several miles north of WPB. 

Maybe a hospital train back to Miami ?

Incident happened between Delta and United sidings - adjacent to the Bee Line Highway between West Palm Beach and Orlando.
