Police activity south of Philly?
Author: Jimbo

I am on 156 stopped south of Philly because of police activity.  Anyone know what is going on?  I couldn’t access the NEC Twitter account.  We stopped about 3:05 PM.

Thanks for any info.

Reported on Facebook that #161 fatally struck a trespasser at Norwood.

At 4:30 we are moving again.  19 and 161 had also been stopped in the area.

Sorry to hear about the trespasser fatality, hope the 161 crew is OK.  156 has passed Eddystone but is moving slow.

Moving again at 5 PM and passed the stopped 161 near Prospect Park, but still moving slowly.  Definitely a fatality.

at 5:15 PM still moving slowly well past the incident scene.  Perhaps we are following a SEPTA train.
