HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. — CSX’s double-track main line at Harpers Ferry has been shut down after a reported bridge deck fire this afternoon (Monday, June 24), leading to a cancellation of Amtrak’s Capitol Limited and disrupting freight service and MARC commuter rail operations.
Eyewitness photos looking east from the original Baltimore & Ohio train station and platform showed flames on both tracks and thick smoke completely obstructing the west portal of the Harpers Ferry tunnel. . . .
