Reports in other forums indicated that CSXT has had a major bridge washout on the old SCL near Pinopolis, SC. If this is correct this will have a major long term impact on Amtrak Florida service until the bridge rebuilt. Supposedly the old inland SAL line used by the Silver Star also has washouts.
The bridge in question is located here -

With CSXT detouring all it's freight over the SAL line (once reopened) it might be a while before Amtrak runs to Florida again.
Edit: correct naming of pre CSXT lines.
