Channel 6 was showing 7169 working the 65 stuck on Ridge Ave. 7248 tried to go around stuck 7169 and got stuck as well. For this reason Ridge Ave was blocked.

The 65 was a mess this afternoon. Waited from 2:30 to 3:20 for a bus to 69th St with none showing up. Fortunately I was able to catch a ride from a friend.

As of 12:00 on SEPTA website:

Shuttle buses are operating for El service between 30th and 56th Street Stations due to police activity at 40th Street Station.

Anyone know what happened?

Shortly before 12:00, a 40 year old female was struck by an El train at 40 St; patient was transported to HUP with multiple trauma injuries and unstable vitals.

Westbound Route 11 trolleys were only going as far as 49th and Woodland yesterday afternoon. Shuttle buses from Southern providing service to Darby included 5392, 5393 and 5397.

2332 was spotted at Woodland Depot, along with several K-cars.

7254, 7227, 7211 and 7238 all managed to break down within a block of each other during PM rush hour (on Route 18), heading westbound on Chew Avenue between Johnson Street and Cliveden Street, while attempting unsuccessfully to make their way up a steep incline. (Why some of the buses didn't decide to detour after noticing the problems that the lead bus had, or why Neoplan artics were operating on the route in the snow in the first place, are mysteries.) Almost all of the passengers on each of the buses decided to get off and presumably walk the rest of the way. I happened to be riding 7238, which began filling up with smoke before its passengers got off.

I later spotted 7254 deadheading down Upsal Street near Anderson Street (not part of the regular route), without passengers, before making a right turn on Stenton Avenue in the direction of Olney Terminal.

I spotted 4569 on the H,3252 block in West Mount Airy. I would rather see this rather than see or hear some 8000 running on a Midvale route that is shared with Southern(like the 47 or 57 so to speak). Not like the ole days when I could ride something like 8604 or 3284 on the H/XH routes but oh well.

I must get up there to ride one of those old timers. I have mentioned this before, I love that whiny transmission. I have a sound clip of it in my Real Player.
