"Amtrak Train 91 Derailment
February 4, 2018
We are deeply saddened to report the death of two of
our employees in this morning’s derailment in Cayce,
South Carolina. Additionally, affected customers
reporting injuries have been transported to local
hospitals.
We are cooperating fully with the NTSB, which is
leading the investigation, as well as working with
FRA and CSX. CSX owns and controls the Columbia
Subdivision where the accident occurred. CSX
maintains all of the tracks and signal systems. CSX
controls the dispatching of all trains, including
directing the signal systems which control the access
to sidings and yards.
Amtrak is working to take care of everyone who was on
the train, including family members of our passengers
and crew.
Details:
Amtrak Train 91, operating between New York and
Miami, came in contact with a CSX freight train at
around 2:35 a.m. ET in Cayce, South Carolina. The
lead engine derailed, as well as some passenger cars.
There were 8 crew members and approximately 139
customers on board. Local authorities are on the
scene responding.
Customer information:
People who have questions about customers on the
train can contact us at 800-523-9101.
Service information:
Due to this incident and the resulting temporary
track closure, Trains 91 & 92, the Amtrak Silver Star

alternate transportation to missed stops, as

Other Amtrak services along the Atlantic Coast,
including the Auto Train (Trains 52 & 53), Palmetto
