Service Delayed Near Lake Charles, Louisiana

Announcement Number: CN2017-82
Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: November 6, 2017

To Our Customers,

The Westlake swing bridge on the Lafayette Subdivision in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is stuck between the “open” and “closed” positions and is therefore currently out of service.

We are holding trains until repairs are made that allow the bridge to close and traffic to resume. Customers can expect delays between 24 to 36 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience these delays may cause.
