From the info I got, it appeared as though P&W service was suspended, however, there was nothing on the SEPTA web site. Anyone know further?

The only way for that to work is to single track from Wynnefield Road all the way to Radnor, and that's about half the line right there. Not on this planet.

Just be lucky that it's only most of it, i've seen some pretty bad fires in my lifetime, some of which take off like 90% of what was affected
