After 10 cars on a CSX Transportation train derailed in rural Morgan County Monday, emergency personnel restored one of two affected rail lines in less than a day.
Emergency officials said they have already removed the rail cars involved in the incident.
But recent snow in the Eastern Panhandle has pushed back repairs on the other affected rail line, according to Sheriee Bowman, CSX senior manager of media relations.
Originally, CSX expected to complete rail line repairs Wednesday afternoon. But Bowman wrote in an email that weather has played a role in delaying the rail repairs.
As a result, service has not yet been restored to the Morgan County portion of the railway affected by the derailment.
As of Thursday, “work will continue throughout the day until service is fully restored,” Bowman wrote.
She did not specify when CSX expects to fully complete the rail line repairs.
