many delays WASH southbound Sunday morning till at least Monday morning

[blue streak 1]

Almost all southbounds out of WASH delayed 2 - 5 hours this afternoon +.

19, 52, 97, 145, 157, =  19 did not leave until 2310.  Various posts said equipment problems and signal issues  Who knows what.  Also 29 took a 4:50 hit late posted as equipment.  Wonder if it could have been switch or signal problems getting diesels out of IVY city?

Just checked 87 which has taken a 4+ hour delay arriving WASH from just 5 miles north of WASH.

Now it sounds like the tower at north end of Union Station is having some problems?

EDIT:  Found this bulletin at 0915 Sunday morning and problems still evident at 0002 Monday.

K Tower has been replaced as a manned interlocking, I believe.
