| SEPTA Main Line Ambler PA April 4 2006 |
|
A dump truck takes out two tracks of wires in Ambler, causing havoc during the evening rush. Part One is here, Part Two here, Part Three here and Part Four here. |
| SEPTA personnel protect the crossing at Butler Pike in Ambler as an empty train pulls into the station to pick up the northbound passengers heading for Lansdale and Doylestown. |
 |
| The busses dropped off the passengers on the outbound side, and many crossed over at Butler Pike. |
 |
| Passengers crowd to board the train on the platform side ...... |
 |
| and, due to the large number of people, and after some hesitation, passengers were also boarded from the track side after immediately departing from the busses. |
 |
| Meanwhile, work continued on both tracks south of Ambler well into the early morning hours, and thankfully all service was restored by the morning rush. Just another day at the office. |
