Passenger Trains > 1 Hurt in SEPTA Derailment

 One woman was taken to a hospital after a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority rapid-transit train derailed Saturday night.
The derailment occurred just before midnight on the Market-Frankford line, SEPTA’s most used transit route.
Although SEPTA said the cause of the derailment remained under investigation, a broken rail discovered during track work after the derailment may have been the cause.
The derailment occurred just before midnight and involved a train carrying 100 passengers.

It occurred between the 2nd Street and Spring Garden stations. The third car of the six-car trainset jumped the rails.
The line is normally closed for maintenance between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. However, service wasn’t restored until 10 a.m. on Sunday.
The woman taken to a hospital reported having knee pain. There were no other injuries. From the akronrrblog
