Norfolk Southern issued an operation update, stating: “Norfolk Southern is monitoring Tropical Storm Francine which is forecasted to strengthen as it moves through the Gulf of Mexico. T/S Francine is currently expected to make landfall Wednesday, September 11 as a Category 2 hurricane. Currently, there are no impacted service areas and Norfolk Southern is operating as scheduled. However, the Port of New Orleans is planning to close the flood gates between 1800 – 2000 this evening. This will impact local as well as interchange traffic in New Orleans. Norfolk Southern will work with connecting carriers to utilize alternative gateways where possible. We will provide updates as needed. Customers with shipments moving through the southeast and mid-Atlantic should prepare for delays.”
