DeLAND, Fla. — Amtrak service resumed Monday on a stretch of railroad track that was closed after a sinkhole opened under it, causing delays for five trains and hundreds of passengers.
Crews filled up the sinkhole that opened up just north of DeLand and planned to install a larger pipe to improve drainage in the area, said Gary Sease, a spokesman for Jacksonville-based CSX Transportation.
Trains will be limited to 10 mph over the area until the area is better drained.
