I also found myself with a ticket for a heavily delayed (around 3 hours, but not cancelled) train 66 back from DC one Sunday evening, and was reaccommodated on train 90 (advertised as "set down only" at DC under normal circumstances), again without any fare difference being collected.
Yes there is some reaccomodation but it is hit or miss instead of policy. Also you you were in PHL so there is that option of Keystone. No such luck past PHL, like I was in WIL where the only other option was the Acelas.
