Amtrak to restore East Coast service tomorrow

All Amtrak service between the Northeast and Florida will be restored tomorrow, the railroad said late this afternoon.

A bridge owned by CSX Transportation, 10 miles north of Selma, N.C., has been repaired, allowing the railroad to reopen to passenger trains tomorrow.

A routine inspection of the bridge by CSX had led to its closure yesterday to make needed repairs. Amtrak had canceled all service south of Richmond, Va., because of the bridge closure.

Amtrak said it regrets the service disruption and that it worked closely with CSX Transportation to restore service in time for the Easter holiday weekend.
