Brunswick Line reopens, but Camden is halted
The Brunswick Lines has been reopened after power lines that had fallen on the nearby Metro Red Line tracks west of Rockville were repaired. But service on the Camden Line has been halted because of a hazardous materials incident aboard s CSX train near Jessup.
MTA spokesman David Clark said Brunswick Lines trains No. 873 and 891 are expected to depart Union Station at or close to their scheduled times. He said Metro Red Line service has also resumed.
On the Camden Line, CSX halted a train after workers on an Anacostia River bridge reported respiratory illness after a CSX train passed. The train was stopped near Jessup, where there is little population near the tracks, so authorities could investigate.
The CSX train was 98 cars long, of which 14 carried hazardous chemicals. The Camden Line shares the tracks on that line with CSX freight traffic, as the Brunswick Line does in Rockville.
