Passenger Trains > Pennsylvanian terminated account NS triple-train wreck, turned

Account NS wreck (three trains involved, empty oil train rear-ended an intermodal; third train was passing and got caught up) on the Pittsburgh Line just east of Greensburg PA, westbound Amtrak Pennsylvanian 43(8) was terminated short, passengers detrained and bustituted, and the consist ran to AR/UN and around the loop to turn, returning east.  It deadheaded past Horseshoe Curve at 1915, should be at or nearing Altoona now (that was at 1951; it is NOT tracking).

I was in Newark Penn today around 10am. They were announcing train 43 will only operate to Harrisburg and NO alternative transportation beyond.
