Worldcom told me more than 800 DS3 are affected on their part. It's a train derailment between Buckhead (?), Georgia and Social Circle, Georgia. other carriers are affected too.

Today is off to a great start.

A train derailed outside of Atlanta cutting several fiber cables affecting service in the southeast.

MFS has a total of 613 DS3's down at this time - no ETR. No word on how many other carriers are affected. Outage began at 02:15 PDT, roughly.

Looks like self-healing SONET, isn't. :-(

Just wait for the self-healing teams to finish their work :-)))
