Sounds like a breach in rules, but I can only speculate, and it's not fair to do that.What I am saying is that there was no missed signal. Signals are typically left clear all the way to Cynwyd once a train is routed onto the 52nd St ramp.
The fact that the train was on an unscheduled move helps to explain how the train was routed onto the SEPTA track in the first place. The press never said a word about the train being turned. Of course, we should never rely on what we see on TV, read in the newspapers, or hear on the radio.
