PHILADELPHIA (AP) | Commuters biked, walked, juggled carpool schedules and hitched rides as the city's transit system ground to a near halt for a second day Wednesday, a rush worsened when a regional rail train caught fire.
Regional rail lines are running because their workers are represented by a different union. But trouble hit about 7 a.m. when a car caught fire as it headed downtown, causing delays and confusion. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) officials said it was likely an electrical fire and was not suspicious.
