October 5, 2026 — Update from Montgomery County

CSX did not provide a train on Saturday, October 3, and notified the County this morning that no train service would be provided today.

To reduce the risk of fire at the Transfer Station, up to 50 loads of municipal solid waste (MSW) per day will be trucked from the Transfer Station to the Resource Recovery Facility today and tomorrow. If CSX resumes service tomorrow, trucking will stop as soon as Reworld is able to clear the pit at the Transfer Station.

For questions or additional information, please contact Lonnie Heflin, Chief, Materials Management Division.
