CSX Detours Question

Due to the derailment near DC, what trains will be detouring and which routes will they taking?

Thanks to anyone who can provide any insight on this.

If I had to take a guess. I'd say the trains will be rerouted the same way they were last year when the Anacostia Bridge was closed. Q173/Q174 will be rerouted over NS via the H-Line and B-Line starting tomorrow (saturday), like last year. Not sure on anything else.

amtrak is also being rerouted through DC

When the bridge was shut down last year, most of the Q400s that were rerouted over the old C&O up to Dayton, then ran back to the east from there. Even some of the K200 series trashers ran through here during that month.

Sounds like a lot of trains are being rerouted VIA NS this year. O72 (empty juice train) is making it's way south on the H-Line to the B-Line. A couple of the Q400 trains are supposed to be routed VIA NS as well. Also Q173/Q174 VIA NS.
