Daily News | SEPTA El train derailed in Old City
, where the line emerges from the subway tunnel to elevated tracks and runs under I-95, the transit agency said.
No injuries were reported in the 11:45 p.m. incident, SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch said Sunday morning. Wheels on the third of six cars came off the tracks but the train remained coupled together and none of the cars fell over, Busch said. About 100 passengers were aboard at the time. Rescue workers led passengers under the freeway to waiting SEPTA shuttle buses. The transit agency Sunday morning was examining the train and the tracks to determine what caused the derailment, Busch said, and shuttle buses operated between Huntingdon and 5th Street Stations.“Our crews found and repaired a piece of broken track,” Busch said. “The repair was tested and deemed safe for normal operations.
