The as yet unidentified man, was draped by a white sheet, laying on the side of the elevated track behind Smokers Express on the 3800 block of Otter St. just beyond the Bristol Township border.
Bristol Township Police and Croydon Fire officials on scene were tight-lipped about providing any information, except to say they are waiting for Amtrak representatives to arrive for further investigation.
Amtrak Spokesperson Clifford Cole said in an e-mail, “Amtrak temporarily suspended service between New York and Philadelphia for about an hour for an investigation… SEPTA is the authority for the trespasser incident.”
