SEPTA trains in and out of Center City Philadelphia delayed because of fire, power issues
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — SEPTA Regional Rail trains were delayed in both directions in Philadelphia Thursday evening, the transit agency said on social media.
The disruption was caused by "Amtrak power loss" near 30th Street Station, SEPTA said.
Power was restored, SEPTA said just before 10 p.m., but residual delays could continue until operations can resume fully.
The following lines are affected: Airport, Chestnut Hill East, Chestnut Hill West, Fox Chase, Doylestown, Media, Norristown, Thorndale, Trenton, Warminster, Newark and West Trenton.
Earlier Thursday, SEPTA Regional Rail lines were temporarily stopped because of a fire in North Philadelphia. Service resumed, but trains were delayed because of the disruption, SEPTA said.
The fire was at 803 West Master Street in North Philadelphia and has been put out, according to the fire department.
The Philadelphia Fire Department requested that all service through Center City -- from Temple University to Jefferson Station -- be halted because of the fire, according to SEPTA.
