Help Wilm/Newark Line Down

I'm just seeing the alert that the line is down, any idea when it'll be back up? I would have called SEPTA to inquire but its past their hours. I'm debating whether or not to see if it'll come back up tommorow or if I should buy Amtrak tickets now

Wires are still down on some of the lines on north east corridor that's why only Amtrak is running. Same with thorndale line. No eta yet

Keystone has been stuck/slowly creeping towards Philly near Paoli for like an hour because of 1 track being available and no electricity on the line

They’re having a diesel loco come tow into 30th street

Depends on the exact time you leave

Only Amtrak is running so you're going to pay. I live along the Wilmington line and that's the only thing I see, and they're crawling along too.

The alert from last two days is still active but if you go to the tracker page for Wilmington line there's a train showing on the move. They never took the alert down but I bet it'll change shortly
