Baltimore settles CSX lawsuit over sewage water dumped at coal terminal for $100K

Baltimore agreed to a $100,000 settlement Wednesday to close out a lawsuit filed by rail company CSX after a city contractor dumped sewage-tainted water at the company’s Curtis Bay coal terminal while a city inspector was using the bathroom. The settlement, approved unanimously Wednesday by the Board of Estimates, stemmed from a 2018 incident in which a city contractor was working on one of several large sanitary sewer lines that runs beneath CSX’s property in South Baltimore.
