How do they go about re-railing the cars in the tunnel?

How do they go about re-railing the cars in the tunnel?

Carefully. No sidewinders in that tunnel. Expect a lot of track jacks. That is if rails can be used. Might be a lot of tie & rail replacement and also the puzzle switches.

Am confused didn't Amtrak say just 2 passenger cars derail? No mention of loco derailing.

Does anyone know what Amtrak did for pax on 171 bound for points south of Washington? Probably a couple hundred people.
