Lehigh Line derailment

Just hearing reports of a pretty big derailment on the Lehigh Line in Union this afternoon, that's all I know at this time. Thoughts out to the cleanup crews working in this weather, with snow in the forecast....

Yup!

Those 2 tweets show different derailments...

Both derailments in Union....or...?

I believe that is one CSX train, derailed in two different spots in the consist. I don't know the symbol yet, one report said it was Selkirk bound, so maybe Q300?

If Selkirk was one of the ends, the loaded C&D would make me think from SK. NYC ships tons of those out...

CSX Q404 - Baltimore to Selkirk

News radio reports that derailment has been cleared up and New Jersey Transit service restored for morning rush.
Since a major freight line NS and CSX there had to be some interesting rerouting of trains around it.
Any comments on routes?
