SEPTA's Paoli-Thorndale Line Still Shut Down

SEPTA's Paoli-Thorndale Regional Rail Line service was still suspended as of 1 p.m. Monday.  The rails and power lines are owned by Amtrak which needed to inspect and clear the Main Line track beds before restarting service. 

A posting on Amtrak's website indicates that the Ketystone train service between Philadelphia and Harrisburg will resume in both directions after 3 p.m. Monday. Those trains operate on the same tracks as SEPTA's Paoli-Thorndale line.

SEPTA has not said when it expects regional rail service along the Paoli-Thorndale Line to resume.

Amtrak trains from Philadelphia north to New York and New England have all been cancelled for at least today. Large scale flooding left the track beds under significant depths of water in and around Amtrak's Trenton, NJ station.  Amtrak service from Philadelphia south is operating.
