I imagine it'll be closed for a while.
The current disruptions page on National Rail Enquiries describes it as "No trains between Aberdeen and Dundee expected until the end of the day on 21 August".
All lines are closed between Aberdeen and Dundee as the emergency services continue to work at the site of the derailed train near Stonehaven. Consequently, no trains will run between those stations, and trains between Aberdeen and Glasgow Queen Street / Edinburgh may be cancelled or revised.
Lines are expected to reopen for the start of service on Saturday 22 August.
