Per the article, this incident was "northeast of Hereford."

They would detour over the GSR, but as you said, no crews to do it. The easiest option would have been to run via Lubbock over the Slaton and Plainview Subs but that wasn't done either

At least two California to Alliance Tx trains did reroute Texico - Slaton - Tecific < UP Baird sub > to Fort Worth. But nothing detoured via Lubbock during the ~11-hours there was no route at the derailment location. Allegedly the Slaton crew and/or van supply couldn’t immediately support detours via Lubbock.
