A few a freight cars are on the ground outside of KIS and they are blocking the single main. The Star and The Meteor are impacted. this will stretch on until later tonight. I think detours have been arranged.
 
This situation has steadily deteriorated. Passengers from 91(24) and 97(24) have been moved to buses.. Track restoration is not expected until after midnight. This may impact 98(26) and 92(26) on the turn.

Also, this is the second CSX train to hit a car and subsequently derail this month in Florida.

No vehicles were involved. Local was pulling an industry track off the mainline and a rail rolled over sending two engines and three cars onto the ground.

Further, the incident a few weeks ago involved the vehicle driving into the side of the passing train, not the train hitting a vehicle. The impact wedged the minivan under the train car causing the derailment.

The trains arrived in Hialeah just after 7am. As Thirdrail7 said, expect late trains. 98 is already showing an ETD of 10am which seems a tad optimistic.
