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.

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.
