SEPTA Wilmington-Newark Line Restored on November 4 After Amtrak Train Struck a Person, in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware
SEPTA's Wilmington-Newark Regional Rail line has been restored after an Amtrak train struck a person near Glenolden, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of November 4, briefly suspending service. The incident occurred at about 1:30 p.m., when an Amtrak train struck a person near Glenolden; SEPTA then suspended Wilmington-Newark Line service while Amtrak investigated.
According to the Delaware News Journal's November 4 report, a SEPTA spokesperson said passengers could use alternate transportation during the suspension; apart from trains to and from Philadelphia, the only direct alternate route into Delaware was the Route 113 bus from the Claymont Transit Center. By 3 p.m. on November 4, Wilmington-Newark Line service had been restored, though Amtrak trains between Wilmington and Philadelphia were still heavily delayed.
The incident remains under investigation and the identity of the person struck has not been released. The Wilmington-Newark Line is a key commuter link between Wilmington, Delaware's largest city, and Newark, carrying large numbers of passengers traveling to and from Philadelphia each day.
