PHILADELPHIA<\/strong> – Heavy rain caused problems<\/a> for trains, drivers and concertgoers who saw delays and faced challenges getting through the storm.<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n A line of passengers finally boarded for an 8:11 p.m. departure at 30th Street Station Thursday night.<\/p>\n Some travelers were left waiting when service paused.\u00a0<\/p>\n Amtrak posted to its X account at around 6:30 p.m. stating, “All rail traffic is stopped between Philadelphia and Wilmington, the result of severe storms causing high water over tracks.”<\/p>\n Around 8:15 p.m., Amtrak said water was receding, allowing routes to reopen.<\/p>\n SEPTA’s Broad Street Line station had water pouring in like a waterfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n A video captured it along the steps and the subway platform.<\/p>\n Drivers had to use extra caution driving through the 5th Street tunnel between Race Street and Callowhill, which looked like a water park ride because of the high water at the innermost part.<\/p>\n Just as wild was the water on UPenn\u2019s campus, where the water was up to the bumper on some cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n Trucks and SUVs fared a little better getting through, but for most it was a challenge. A potentially dangerous one.<\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n “I have to see the concert. Rain or shine,” said Gwen Beatty from Lumberton, New Jersey.<\/p>\n On the brighter side of this dreary day, fans of superstar R&B singer and actor, The Weeknd, waited patiently and with plenty of excitement in the rain for a 7:00 p.m. show at the Linc.<\/p>\n “I am actually so excited. I love his music so much,” said Beatty.\u00a0<\/p>\n Some fans arrived as early as 4 p.m. only to find that entry was delayed by an hour with gates opening at 6 p.m. instead of 5 p.m.<\/p>\n “I said I’m staying put. I could totally easily go across the street to Xfinity Live, but I feel like I need to be here and I am hoping for the best,” said Beatty.<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> The information in this story is from Amtrak and the Lincoln Financial Field.<\/p>\n News<\/a>Weather<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA – Heavy rain caused problems for trains, drivers and concertgoers who saw delays and faced challenges getting…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":109267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,50,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,313],"class_list":{"0":"post-109266","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-pa","11":"tag-pennsylvania","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa","19":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114951475994314934","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
