As of 11 a.m., SEPTA officials said delays of more than two hours could be expected along Regional Rail Lines, including the Warminster and West Trenton lines that serve passengers from the Newtown area.

NBC 10 reported 800 passengers on Regional Rail trains were rescued after being stranded on trains that were on the Media-Elwyn and Trenton lines Thursday morning.

The electrical problems were caused by down wires in Philadelphia, SEPTA said.
