WASHINGTON (AP) — Amtrak service south of Washington is disrupted and Virginia Railway Express is canceling Fredericksburg line trains after a coal train derailed.
Amtrak says service will continue to be disrupted Friday because the railroad is shut down south of Quantico with all tracks blocked. VRE is canceling all trains on the line Friday after Thursday’s derailment.
The disruption affects Amtrak trains running between Washington and Newport News, Va., and from New York to Miami, Charlotte, N.C., and Savannah, Ga. Auto train service between Lorton, Va. and Sanford, Fla. is also affected.
