MARC, Amtrak service disruptions Monday due to CSX train derailment

 

MARC and Amtrak riders should expect delays in their Monday commutes following a derailment Sunday of a freight train in Northeast Washington as crews are still dealing with the cleanup along the lines used by the commuter trains.

 

On MARC, service will not operate full service on the Brunswick Line on Monday.  .  .  .

 

The Amtrak line from Washington to Chicago will not run Monday, but the Northeast Corridor lines will run as normal, officials said.

The Amtrak line from Washington to Chicago will not run Monday....

I sincerely hope that is not entirely true. Ignore the entire route just because of a blockage near one end? What about passengers between Chicago and Pittsburgh? I surmise that there is probably a set of Superliner equipment stranded in Washington, but if what I heard is accurate, the eastbound on Sunday was turned prematurely to become the westbound along the route without the train reaching Washington.
