According to TO and verified by my Pop, CSX has been detouring some priority trains over NS due to a derailment up in NY state. My pop saw at least three while at work today, if he gives me permission I'll post some shots from Mertztown, PA on the Reading Line here soon.

CSX also detoured over the following routes, as well:

1. NYSW from between Syracuse and Binghamton.

2. NS Southern Tier Mainline between Buffalo and Binghamton.

In both cases, the detoured trains used CP (ex-D&H) between Binghamton and Albany to get to/from Selkirk Yard. CSX has also detoured on the Southern Tier Mainline east of Binghamton in the past, but I am not sure if they did so after this derailment.

BTW, I did catch L090 (the hot shot fruit/veggie freight) detouring on the Tier near Corning, NY  and will post photos as time permits.   
Got questions? I can help you with the Erie Lackawanna (including predecessors), Lehigh Valley, Delaware & Hudson and the shortlines of upstate NY.
