Warehouse Fire Disrupts Weekend Service on Manayunk SEPTA Line
Crews spent two days clearing debris from the damaged warehouse that covered the regional rail line.
SEPTA crews spent two full days clearing the Manayunk/Norristown Regional Rail line of debris from a warehouse fire, finishing Monday morning in time for the weekday rush, according to NBC10.com.
Some delays were anticipated when the service was restored at 6 a.m., but as of 10 a.m. no delays or alerts have been posted, according to the SEPTA website.
Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire, which began early Saturday morning at a 65,000 square-foot warehouse located near the tracks on W. Westmoreland Street, according to CBSPhilly.com. Service on the line was suspended for two days after a wall collapsed onto the tracks.
