Norfolk Southern trains are resuming operations between Hattiesburg, MS and New Orleans following the impact of Hurricane Gustav with local yard and customer switching operations expected to follow as inspections are completed and customer operations return to normal. Norfolk Southern is lifting its embargo of the New Orleans area effective 9/03/08.
The New Orleans gateway is open for interchange traffic between Norfolk Southern and connecting carriers; however some reroutes continue via the Memphis Gateway and will continue until connecting carriers resume operations over New Orleans.
