Some SEPTA commuters were left out in the cold on Tuesday as delays and cancellations hit the Regional Rail service.

Chopper 6 video Tuesday night showed repair crews working on overhead wires on the West Trenton Line that were pulled down by an inbound train just before 8 a.m.

Some passengers were stranded on board for about an hour without heat while waiting for a tow.

“It was a complete meltdown with the trains today,” said AJ Essington of South Philadelphia.

The outage had a ripple effect on service throughout the day.

Essington says he barely made it to a doctor’s appointment after getting caught up in the delays.

“It’s very frustrating. I’m relying on it to get to a very important appointment here at Penn,” Essington said. “I’m taking a Lyft home. I learned my lesson.”

While the coldest air in nearly a year settled into the Delaware Valley on Tuesday, SEPTA characterized the incident as routine and said it does not appear to be weather-related.

“It’s certainly a situation we never want to see happen. Occasionally, issues like this do come up, and we respond as quickly as we can. We’re doing a full investigation to determine the cause, but at this point we don’t have anything specifically that points to the cold,” said SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch.

Busch added that Tuesday’s disruption has been addressed and is not expected to impact service moving forward.

In the meantime, city agencies have activated cold-weather resources and warned of potential impacts on homes and infrastructure.

Homeless Services elevated their current Code Blue declaration to an Enhanced Code Blue, effective at 9 p.m Tuesday until further notice. Warming Centers were opened on Tuesday night.

“A frozen pipe situation can become a burst pipe, and that’s very expensive,” said Brian Rademaekers, Philadelphia Water Department spokesman.

Two businesses on 11th Street in Center City were temporarily closed due to a water leak. Officials said the problem involved a private line that connects to a city watermain, which is the building owner’s responsibility, but they expect more issues for city water crews in the coming days as the cold persists.

“Next week they’re basically gonna be playing whack-a-mole with watermain breaks,” Rademaekers said.
