I'm going to say it here... it's time to wind down this thread.
Latest word from unified response command is that the whole span is set to reopen the first week of July, if not by July 10th. I'm trying to find an article on this but long weekend, and I was busy elsewhere (sadly not railfanning).
Meanwhile, a 400 foot wide by 50 foot deep channel is open for 24/7 operations per WYPR. Vessels that size still need an escort.
As I predicted, CSX and NS are rehiring, so things should start getting back to normal. I can see them unloading the Dali in Norfolk so it can be dry-docked and repaired properly. Some of the cargo has already spoiled so they have to unload and shift through it. I don't trust those ship's engines, TBH.
That said, it's getting harder to relate this back to freight, so I think this is going to be my last post on this topic... unless they slap track on the new bridge.

Train travel is a valid cure for extreme burnout.
