Traffic on the Piedmont Division at Norcross Ga is getting snarled due to a lumber yard fire.

As of 815pm they were holding 3 trains according to published reports.

Just saw it on the news. Weird thing is that I was right there on Saturday.

If I recall correctly, the Southern Crescent impacted a truck carrying lumber out of this facility in 1978. E-8 6915 was written off afterwards.
