Bad day today for public transit, first the LIRR derailment, now a Septa Route 10 trolley collision in West Philly, looks like 38th and Lancaster. http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/loc ... 73105.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
One rear ended the other, this begs the question I thought they have some sort of ATC that keeps them from getting too close to each other? I know from riding them that they have a fairly aggressive overspeed warning, which I also thought was to prevent this kind of collision from happening. I could be wrong about that. I have seen them get fairly close headways sometimes, but I wonder what caused this.

"Next stop, 34th Street! Exit for University City, Drexel University, and the University of Pennsylvania."
