SEPTA commuters on Regional Rail lines saw cancelations and delays on Wednesday morning as, officials said, issues with Amtrak’s overhead wire led to the suspension of the Cynwyd Regional Rail Line and caused delays for outbound Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail Line trains.
At about 7 a.m., during the morning commute, SEPTA officials announced the suspension of the Cynwyd Regional Rail Line.
