There don't seem to be many people here who are interested in (let alone well-versed with) SEPTA, which is unfortunate. Date: 12/15/17 09:15 Re: SEPTA Regional Rail Grade Crossing Accident Author: boejoe Jim, do you have any additional info? I'm familiar with that crossing having used it many times in my younger days. Years and years ago flashers were the only protection. I'd like to think there are gates in this day and age.
