SEPTA's Paoli-Thorndale Line Down Until Thursday
The disruption will also affect Amtrak. Buses can be accessed at 69th Street.
SEPTA announced that its Paoli/Thorndale line (formerly the R5), suspended for much of the day Wednesday, will be suspended until at least Thursday morning (Sept. 8).
The tracks for the Paoli/Thorndale are owned by Amtrak, which will also be affected by the service disruption, caused by a tree which fell on tracks in the Berwyn area of Radnor Township.
It is unclear at this time why service to stations east of Berwyn is not being provided.
