March 26 (Reuters) - Rail company CSX Corp ( CSX ) on

Tuesday said its existing coal customers should expect

"potential shipment delays" after the collapse of a bridge that

was struck by a massive cargo ship early Tuesday morning.

CSX owns the Curtis Bay coal pier in Baltimore, located near

the site of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which

CSX plans to keep operational for now as it continues to "assess

the circumstances," the company told Reuters in a statement.

CSX said it currently has capacity to dispatch additional

trains to CSX-served coal terminals in Baltimore before it

reaches pile space limits.
