SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale and Cynwyd lines experience residual delays after overhead wire issues thwart morning commute
Overhead wire issues

Paoli/Thorndale outbound trains from Center City, and both the inbound and outbound service on the Cynwyd line, were suspended this morning right before morning rush hour.
Amtrak reported one delay for Train 640, while some SEPTA trains didn’t run. SEPTA and Amtrak service has resumed, but SEPTA is expecting delays of up to 20 to 50 minutes on the Paoli/Thorndale line and “residual delays” on the Cynwyd line.
Damage to overhead catenary wires at an Amtrak railway junction near the Philadelphia Zoo, which some SEPTA regional rail services like Paoli/Thorndale and Cynwyd share, delayed and suspended some rail service across the region, said Andrew Busch.
An Amtrak spokesperson said crews responded and restored service in both directions by approximately 7:25 a.m. Trains are currently operating, with service routed through Overbrook as repairs continue.
