SEPTA Regional Rail Returns to Service After Overnight Manayunk-Norristown Derailment
An overnight derailment of a Manayunk-Norristown train near North Broad Street disrupted Philadelphia’s Regional Rail network, but service resumed by about 3 p.m. with Chestnut Hill East, Fox Chase, and Norristown lines back in operation. In the interim, several lines were suspended or truncated, with some trains terminating at Fern Rock or Suburban Station and riders advised to use the Market-Frankford Line to reach Center City. There were 47 people on the derailed train and no injuries reported. The incident followed a separate CSX derailment in Bensalem the day before, and residual delays may continue as crews clear and restore normal operations.
