I was searching for some information, and indeed it was yesterday. A couple of news reports stated that one train had run into a stationary "rock" train. Interesting the radio chatter was of a "pig" train. Meaning piggyback, I might guess, unless it is slang for...?
"Pig" as in intermodal. I032 is a stack train, runs Jacksonville => North Bergen, NJ I think. Amtrak's southbound Sliver Star was held at Savannah and the trainset was turned north there this morning. It departed about 8:30 AM running 7+ Hours late. He's making good time. I'm hoping to get a photo of it, so as to see my first Siemens ALP-42. Hoping for some overcast, as the sun is in a difficult spot for good pictures of northbounds.
My experience when working on the Tampa, Jacksonville, Atlanta & Mobile Divisions of CSX for about a decade - personnel on the ground use a lot of 'railfan terminology' in the conversations on the radio or telephone. The 'pig train' was I032 - Jacksonville to Philadelphia (and maybe beyond) [CSX has changed their train naming conventions since I retired in 2016]
Well durn, no Siemens ALC-42s on the Silver Star today, just the same old P-42s. I have to credit the crew though. When the Star is late, it usually just lopes along without any effort to make up lost time. This crew is "haulin' the mail" and making excellent time over the road. The SAL would have been proud.
Three were reported as injured - how seriously is not reportd https://railfan.com/csx-railroaders-hospitalized-after-georgia-wreck/
