2 men killed by SEPTA trains in separate incidents

Posted: January 13, 2013

TWO MEN were killed by SEPTA trains Friday, one on the Broad Street subway, the other on a regional-rail line, about four hours apart.

At 9:26 a.m., authorities said, a 38-year-old man was walking along the Broad Street Line tracks at Allegheny Station when he was struck by a northbound train. He later died at Temple University Hospital. Shuttle buses ran in both directions between Allegheny and Girard until about 11 a.m.

In Bucks County about 1 p.m., an outbound train on the West Trenton line struck and killed a man near the Neshaminy Falls train station. Service was restored by about 3:15 p.m.

Police and SEPTA did not identify the victims or say why they had been on the tracks.
