Silverliner II #257 caught on fire on its journey to Philadelphia from Malvern this morning. The car is toasted, but fortunately everyone was safely evacuated. School district of Philadelphia buses were brought in to rescue the stranded passengers.
Because of the train flambe, service on the Thorndale and Cynwyd lines were SUSPENDED for a while, but train #515 was the first train to make it through the scene after the fire was put out.
