Amtrak canceled several trains that operate on the U.S. East Coast on Thursday after a CSX freight train derailed north of Richmond, Virginia, closing the tracks, Amtrak said.

Three Amtrak trains between Newport News/Richmond and Washington were canceled as were two trains between New York City and Savannah, Georgia.

Two trains will operate only between New York and Washington and between Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina, with no alternate transportation available between Washington and Raleigh, Amtrak said.

It said additional train service that runs through Richmond also could be affected.

CSX was not immediately available for comment.
