CSX adds Baltimore-NY freight route to ease impact of Port of Baltimore closure

CSX Transportation has launched a dedicated freight route between Baltimore and New York City as part of an effort to reroute cargo following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The Port of Baltimore, one of the most active on the East Coast and the single largest importer of cars in the United States, has been mostly closed since a nearly 1,000-foot cargo ship lost power and struck a support column of the bridge, toppling the 47-year-old structure.
