Actually the derailment occurred at the Wick Road crossing in Romulus. M51001 was the train involved.

How long is it expected to be blocked? Will there be reroutes?

I would think a couple of extra trains might head down the Lincoln for the next couple of days while the wreckage is cleared and the tracks are repaired.

my guess is it will be open by tomorrow morning.
they will literally bulldoze the cars off the track and deal with them later.
if there was hazmat then more care and time would be needed.
from what i've read no hazmat cars were dumped.

Noted nothing along the Lincoln Secondary at all today. I work relatively close to that line, but heard and saw nothing there today.

Holy crap. Looks like it'll be a busy weekend here in Plymouth.

Starting about 600 this morning, I heard a couple of trains making their way up the CSX Saginaw Sub. Never did see or hear anything on the Lincoln Secondary.

Nope. They got that fixed up pretty quick and then got to scrapping them cars.
