Overview

  • As of 8:30 a.m., PATCO suspended all trains into and out of Philadelphia because of an unspecified PSE&G power issue and there is no estimated time for restoration.
  • Crews are working to restore power, and PATCO urged riders to seek alternate travel options.
  • Neither PATCO nor PSE&G immediately responded to requests for additional details on the cause of the outage.
  • SEPTA Regional Rail continues to face delays and cancellations due to an emergency inspection order for its aging Silverliner IV cars.
  • Capacity constraints prompted station bypasses on the Chestnut Hill and West Trenton lines, and transit advocates tied the broader disruptions to long-term underfunding and an overdue state budget.
