A statement from CSX about the 26th Street wall and street collapse just came in, emailed to The Brew from Howard Libit of KO Public Affairs.

The Brew has a report on the scene this morning, as crews pull out cars, clear rubble off the track and check the stability and safety situation at nearby structures.

Meanwhile, here is the CSX statement in full:

“CSX is working around the clock in Baltimore to support fast and full recovery from the embankment collapse Wednesday afternoon that covered a segment of a rail line,” the statement reads.

“The company’s primary focus is on the well being of area residents, especially those who had to leave their homes, on first responders and other agencies, and on restoring customer service. Working with local authorities, assessments of the embankment collapse continue and there are no immediate estimates on the resumption of customer service. Updates will be provided as available.”
