The incident happened at the grade crossing on Township Line Road around 4:30 p.m. The wreck left West Trenton Line service suspended as of 6 p.m., Busch said.
Preliminary information released by SEPTA shows the black Chevrolet was on the grade crossing when the train was coming through toward the Woodbourne Station. Busch said local police are investigating the reason the car was on the crossing.
Witness Kirk Kelly said the car was on the tracks when the train was coming through the crossing. He said the signal arms were also down.
