Standard CSX response when there are electric power issues in an area - for whatever the reason.

Most of countyhad two substations damabed by gunfire that has most of county blacked out.  It may be until thursday before full service restored.?

A substation sign said 230 Kv power,.  Many of the transformers use cooling fans to run air over cooling pipes filled with coolant.  Report that someone smelled oil at a damaged sub station.  Now if protection circuits did not function properly the transformer(s) may be permanently damaged?  Duke power may have to bring in a spare or even borrow from another power company.

Un confirmed reports CSX signals  deploying emergency generators to keep batteries charged
