This has been a bad week for CSX. Storms washed out some of their tracks on the Metropolitan Sub. Additionally, storms caused a washout and damaged culvert on the RF&P subdivision this past Thursday, resulting in 26 miles of single tracking. This caused severe congestion between FBG and ASD.
Now, a CSX train has derailed outside of Franconia, VA. This is between ALX and LOR (which means the Auto Train unaffected) but it impacts service from Florida to Massachusetts. At present, there is no route available. Short Distance Intercity Trains from VA to DC (with 80 being the exception) are currently holding at the nearest stations. Long Distance Intercity trains are still on the move. When a route becomes available, severe delays from RVR-WAS are likely.
Keep an eye on the website for possible schedule changes.
