CSX has reopened the Blue Ridge Subdivision, nearly one year after Hurricane Helene caused significant damage to the freight line. The 60-mile corridor, vital for transporting over 14 million tons of freight annually, connects Appalachian communities to the national freight network. CSX’s restoration efforts included modernizing infrastructure, such as the Poplar Bridge and Devil’s Creek bridge, while prioritizing sustainability. CSX emphasized the importance of resilience and partnerships in overcoming challenges, ensuring the line’s capacity and reliability for future operations.
