Just go's to show it can happen to any railroad and not just CSX. These things must be a dispatchers nightmare when they happen on a busy line.

A single train being derailed is probably track failure

21 waiting just to go east well that should keep the dispatch team busy. I wonder how many mugs of coffee they are drinking while they work out how they are going to sort all the trains out.
