“Grinding Halt”: Hundreds Rescued After SEPTA Train Loses Power on Warminster Line

Hundreds of passengers stuck on a disabled SEPTA Regional Rail train on the Warminster line got on their way again Thursday morning after overhead wire problems stopped the train in its tracks.

The train got stuck between the Warminster and Glenside stations while carrying around 500 people.

It lost power South of Roslyn near Bradfield road at 8:12 a.m.

“We heard a large bang and apparently cables that reach out to the power line ripped out and we came to a grinding halt,” passenger Neil Douris said.
