A newborn baby was rescued from a carriage last night after one train derailed seven minutes before it was hit by another service.
More than 100 people were evacuated by firefighters following the terrifying incident in the Fisherton Tunnel, while 17 casualties have been hospitalised.
And today, some passengers have been advised not to travel if possible.
All Great Western Railway services between Cardiff Central, Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads, and Portsmouth Harbour and Brighton, are cancelled.
South Western Railway services between London Waterloo and Yeovil Junction, Exeter St Davids, between Bristol Temple Meads, Yeovil Pen Mill, Castle Cary and Salisbury, and between Salisbury and Southampton Central, have also been hit.
The company has cancelled 110 services today alone, beginning with the 5.10am Exeter St Davids to London Waterloo service, and ending with the 11.40pm Waterloo to Salisbury service.
Tens of thousands of people will be affected by the problems.
National Rail said today: "Most of the lines through Salisbury are currently blocked, and will remain closed until at least the end of the day on Thursday, November 4.
"Customers are advised not to travel on this part of the network."
A two-hourly South Western train service will operate between Exeter St Davids and Gillingham - but parts of the journey may be made be replacement transport, and it'll take longer than usual, they warn.
Those hoping to travel between Salisbury and Romsey on a Great Western service will have to take a replacement bus.
