PHILADELPHIA – A tragedy on the train tracks left a man dead in North Philadelphia on Tuesday.

SEPTA officials say a man was walking between train cars near the Olney Transit Center when he fell onto the tracks.

He was then struck by a SEPTA train, and killed just after 3 p.m.

Service between the Erie and Fern Rock stations was stopped for several hours as law enforcement investigated the scene.

The man’s identity has yet to be released.
