SEPTA's Regional Rail trains are running up to 45 minutes late because of power problems. The Fox Chase line was shut down entirely for nearly an hour, after the problems started around 5 p.m., in the middle of the day's peak rush from Center City.
A SEPTA spokesman said the problem was apparently caused by downed wires near 16th Street Junction, between the North Broad and Wayne Junction stations, which triggered electrical problems at the Wayne Junction electrical substation, which provides power for the trains.
