did anyone hear about the train accident that is currently holding up Amtrak operations? This is[#offtopic], but did anyone hear about the truck that has currently shut down the Blue Route. It is carrying a hazardous waste called copper sulfate or something like that
All I’ve heard so far is that a CSX freight derailed in the Amtrak-owned Oak Point Yark in the Bronx. The derailment has blocked all Amtrak traffic from Manhattan to Connecticut. Amtrak hopes to have things back to normal by evening rush hour.

As of this morning, Amtrak was still not running through to Penn Station. There is considerable damage to the catenary. May be up by this evening (Wednesday 24 Aug)
oskar,
i was talking about the truck that spilled hazardous material on the Blue Route in Philadelphia, and that had nothing to do with the train
