I'm getting word from friends at septa that it was a head on collision between the wire train and an mu train. I haven't heard anything about injuries etc. I hope my friends and passengers are ok

Any word on what happened?Dunno. Some kind of equipment problem? I got off my train at 30th instead of Market East today, and there was a big line of trains on 6 track including some of those WT inbounts, behind a stopped train on the switch into Powelton. Also don't recall seeing the wire train on its usual outward run to the R5, but I may not have been paying enough attention.
SEPTA 319 didn't make it past Woodbourne for the second day in a row, equipment problems caused them to discharge at Woodbourne Station and return to West Trenton, 6321 and 6323 ran Track 2 to Nesh, 326 ran Track 1 to Wood
