Service resumes on Market Street Line

Inquirer staff writer Anthony R. Wood reports

Service has returned to normal on SEPTA's Market Line after the discovery of a body on the tracks at the 11th Street subway station.

Police are investigating the death of the unidentified person and SEPTA officials could not confirm reports a man had jumped in front of a train at the station.

The incident disrupted service along the Market Street Subway for a period, but it returned to normal by 2 p.m., said SEPTA spokesman Gary P. Fairfax. SEPTA had been operating shuttle buses in both directions between the 15th Street and Spring Garden Street stations during the stoppage.
