Two CSX workers died after a seven-car Amtrak train struck them just north of D.C.’s Union Station just before midnight Tuesday.
Amtrak said its trains will not be able to operate for the start of the Wednesday morning rush-hours between D.C. and Philadelphia because the tracks are closed as police investigate.
Amtrak anticipates service will be restored mid-morning Wednesday.
There are some cancellations along the Northeast Corridor.
Amtrak said customers should use Amtrak.com or mobile apps to check the status of their trains.
Commuters who use MARC are facing disruptions and delays on the Penn and Camden lines. The delays are up to an hour.
Service is suspended on the Penn Line south of New Carrollton, and west of Greenbelt on the Camden Line, according to the Maryland Transit Administration.
The Metro option is open for all Penn and Camden Line passengers.
After the accident, CSX released the following statement:
“CSX is deeply saddened to report that at approximately 11:50 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday, June 27, two CSX employees tragically lost their lives when they were struck by an Amtrak train on the railroad tracks near the intersection of 9th Street and New York Avenue, N.E., in Washington, DC. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of our employees.
CSX management representatives responded to the scene to assist with the investigation of this tragic incident. At this time the names of the involved employees are being withheld out of respect for the privacy of their families.
In addition to the two people who died, D.C. Fire and EMS, D.C. Fire also tells WTOP a railroad employee was taken to the hospital.
The accident occurred near New York Avenue and 9th Street in Northeast.
It is not clear what the workers were doing or why they were struck by the train. A National Transportation Safety Board investigator is on the scene, but NTSB spokesman Christopher O’Neil said that does not necessarily mean an investigation will be launched.

yes and it may have likely been to cover up train robbery
what less people knew about
60 MINUTES RAN A FULL HOUR EPISODE OF HOW BLACK MOBS HAVE BEEN ROBBING THE CSX IN D.C. (and other theft along the same rail to Cal.) CSX IS WHERE MOST OF YOUR IMPORTS FROM CAL. FROM CHINA ARRIVE. IF THEY STEAL IT: YOU'R NOT GETTING IT AT NEAR-BY STORES (goes to black market).
black politicians prevented CSX from taking counter-measures
60 Minutes reported CSX has electronic security but that black mobs had obtained acess (likely by killing csx workers or suing CSX to hire black mobsters) - they were (maybe still are) taking the contents of whole rail cars.
hmmm, why did my last upgrade cost so much?

they sued CSX because the worker's tests "were too white" and prevented blacks and illegals from getting work
(in those tests, one of the questions was: the best ways to know if it's safe to stand on the track are: ...)
