An explosion occurred on Dec. 30 at CSX’s Curtis Bay coal facility in Baltimore.
The incident resulted in a failure of a coal transfer tower, CSX spokeswoman Sheriee Bowman said in an email.
The cause of the incident remains under investigation, she said. All employees are accounted for and there were no injuries.
"Operations at CSX Curtis Bay Coal Piers have been temporarily suspended while engineering teams assess the extent of the damage," said Bowman. "In the meantime, coal shipments to Curtis Bay are being rerouted and we are working closely with impacted customers."
