CSX Transportation has restored limited service on a segment of its flood-impacted Memphis-Nashville line. Limited service has been restored on tracks from Memphis to Brownsville, Tenn., approximately a quarter of the entire line's length. Service will continue to be restored as recovery work progresses east toward Nashville and the two heavily damaged bridges on the Harpeth River. Both of the bridges are within 25 miles of Nashville. The entire line should be re-opened by the second week of June. Meanwhile, rail traffic continues to be detoured to the Memphis gateway and over connecting railroads.
