Case Study: CSX Transportation prevents flood-related train damage with AccuWeather For Business SkyGuard warning

AccuWeather SkyGuard® Warning gives advanced notice to CSX Transportation

CSX Transportation faced an unexpected flash flood along its river-side track in West Virginia on June 21, 2016; the National Weather Service issued no flood warning, putting trains, infrastructure and nearby people at risk. AccuWeather For Business provided support via its SkyGuard Warning service.

AccuWeather For Business delivered an exclusive SkyGuard Warning nearly one hour before the flooding, allowing CSX Transportation to stop trains from entering the affected area and avoid significant damage to equipment and operations. That roughly one-hour lead time directly prevented trains from passing through the flooded section and protected CSX’s people, property and profits.
