Does the S-line have the capacity for all the detour traffic it will need to handle?

Was Cheraw trestle over Great Pee Dee River affected by flood?

From what I'm hearing, NB A-Line traffic will go reroute via Columbia and Hamlet, SB traffic will detour via Hamlet-Greenwood-Augusta-Fairfax and south onto the Columbia sub towards Savannah

Sounds like a good time to go rail fanning in Hamlet.
