"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Impact on Port Operations and Political Leaders"

CSX completes the first diverted cargo shipments on a new rail line for the Port of Baltimore, with containers being unloaded in Baltimore after being diverted to the Port of New York and New Jersey. Norfolk Southern is launching a dedicated service to facilitate the flow of diverted freight between the two ports. The closure of the Port of Baltimore has led to significant supply chain disruptions, impacting trade, inventories, and inflation, with an estimated monthly indirect impact of $6.6 billion.
