A train broke down at 30th Street Station early Wednesday evening, causing major delays on three SEPTA lines.

The broken down train finally moved around 7:30 p.m. SEPTA tweeted train #9561 traveling to Thorndale was operating 129 minutes late.

The incident impacted three separate lines. The outbound #6762 and inbound #765 trains on the Chestnut Hill East line were canceled, trains on the Cynwyd lines are experiencing 20-minute delays and trains on the Paoli/Thorndale line are experiencing delays of approximately 30 minutes.

Other lines were not affected.
